He was fined £660 for each offence and ordered to pay MK Council £810 compensation for the recovery, storage and destruction of the vehicles, as well as full costs totalling £1,242.

Councillor Emily Darlington, said in a statement on the Council's website: “It’s not acceptable to dump vehicles and expect somebody else to clean it up after you. I hope this latest conviction by our Environmental Crime Unit sends a clear message to anybody thinking of doing the same.”
