Two men from the South East have been fined a combined total of almost £1,700 for illegally dumping items such as furniture, a mattress and black bags full of rubbish, here in Bristol.
Azhar Beelontally, 22, of Josephine Avenue, Tadworth, Surrey and Rayhan Chowdhury, 21 of Coote Road, Dagenham, London, pleaded guilty to fly-tipping following the discovery of the waste on Station Road in Patchway. Beelontally was fined £1,015 and Chowdhury was ordered to pay £677, with both having to cover the additional £403 in costs when they appeared in Bristol Magistrates Court.
The waste was cleared by South Gloucestershire Council and evidence was found relating to a nearby address in Brookfield Road, previously linked to the pair. Both men admitted fly-tipping the black bags in Spring 2021 after being formally interviewed by the council's Envirocrime team during the investigation.
