Fly-tipper ordered to pay more than £1,500 after being captured by hidden camera
A man has been ordered to pay more than £1,500 after a hidden camera captured his involvement in a fly-tipping offence on a country lane.
Marzio Sturaro, of Old Fallings Crescent, Wolverhampton, appeared at Cannock Magistrates Court yesterday, where he pleaded guilty to knowingly causing the depositing of controlled waste – a garden ornament, from a vehicle.
The 56-year-old was pictured committing the offence in Mill Lane, Saredon, South Staffordshire, on February 23.
During an interview with South Staffordshire Council officers, Sturaro said the abandonment of the garden ornament had been spontaneous, rather than planned.
He claimed the item was in the boot of his car as he was planning to transport it to the tip.
