Five people from County Durham have been left with a combined bill of more than £3,500 after being convicted of waste offences.
The cases of Luke Wake and Shona Alice Leaf, Wayne and Kimberley Brannigan, and Rachel Cant were dealt with at Peterlee Magistrates’ Court following prosecutions by Durham County Council.
Wake, 49, and Leaf, 23, of Redworth Road in Shildon, were each fined £220 for failing to assist an investigation into a fly-tipping incident on land behind their home.
