Magistrates have ordered a Watford man to pay over £500 for dropping a cigarette on the floor.

Ioan Chiriac, of Leavesden Road, was accused of littering near the Guru Nanak Temple in Southall on November 29 last year.

The case of the 49-year-old was proved through the single justice procedure, a paper-only process which allows magistrates to deal with minor crimes without scheduling a court hearing.

Chiriac was ordered to pay £508 in total, of which £220 was a fine.

Also in court: 

Watford man Jameel Khan, of Mildred Avenue, was also ordered to pay a total of £1,034 and received six points to his licence over a driving offence in London.

The 44-year-old was charged with failing to identify himself to Metropolitan Police officers while driving a Toyota Yaris in Sidcup on February 14.

The case was proved at Bromley Magistrates' Court on June 11 via the single justice procedure and the 44-year-old was ordered to pay a £660 fine, £264 victim surcharge and £110 in court costs.
