3:54pm Tuesday 12th February 2013 in News

A MAN has been fined after being found carrying controlled materials without a waste carriers licence.

South Ribble magistrates convicted Owen Collins, of Audley Close, Blackburn in his absence.

Collins, 22, was fined £400, with £75 costs and £15 victim surcharge.

He was carrying scrap metal in his vehicle to Corncroft, Penwortham, near Preston, when he was stopped by a PCSO officer last July, the South Ribble Magistrates heard.

Send this to Blackburn police they could have a field day improving their crime figures if they stopped every pick up truck with a cage on!!

None of these people have a waste carriers licence. Why don't the police nail them on this?
