Seven more litter louts were handed hefty fines after appearing before Plymouth Magistrates Court on Monday.
The court heard how the offenders were witnessed dropping litter on the city's streets by the Council’s environmental enforcement officers, who issued them with a fixed penalty notice.
However, despite several reminders, the fixed penalty notices remained unpaid, and the cases were put before the court
The court found the defendants guilty in their absence and ordered them each to pay a fine of £150, pay costs of £200 as well as a victim surcharge of £34.
The original fixed penalty notice was for £100.
Also before the same court on Monday was a woman who failed to keep her dog on a lead in a dogs on lead area.
Like the litterers, her offence was witnessed by a Council officer who issued her with a fixed penalty notice. When it was unpaid, the case was brought to court.
She was found guilty in her absence and ordered to pay a fine of £150, pay costs of £200 as well as a victim surcharge of £34.
