Fined again for 20,000-tyre dump

A man who dumped 20,000 tyres on a North Wales industrial estate escaped a 140,000 pound fine when the court heard he had no assets and was on incapacity benefit. However, he was fined almost 3,000 pounds and ordered to pay costs when he appeared before Flintshire Magistrates Court. An 8,500 pound Crown Court fine imposed last summer for illegally dumping the tyres has still not been paid.
