More people have been landed with fines and criminal records for fly-tipping and littering in Hull.
The following people were prosecuted at Hull Magistrates Court during February and March after the cases were brought by Hull City Council.
Saddam Rashed, of Spring Bank, Hull, was prosecuted in relation to waste dumped on Sutton Street in September last year.
Evidence found in the waste linked it to Rashed.
Rashed failed to pay a fixed penalty notice or respond to further correspondence, so the case was referred for prosecution.
He failed to attend Hull Magistrates’ Court and was convicted in his absence and ordered to pay fines and costs to the Hull City Council of £1,324 as well as receiving a criminal record.
Caroline Oliver, of Boulevard, Hull, was convicted for fly-tipping waste on Boulevard in October last year.
After the waste was reported by a member of the public, the council carried out investigations, and discovered evidence that suggested Oliver was responsible for the waste.
She failed to pay a fixed penalty notice, so the case was referred for prosecution.
Oliver pleaded guilty at Hull Magistrates’ Court, received a criminal record and was ordered to pay £206 in fines and costs.
Toby Kelly, of De Grey Street, Hull, was captured on CCTV fly-tipping waste on Lindsey Place, Hull, in September last year.
In response to evidence obtained from a member of the public, Hull City Council identified Kelly as the driver of the vehicle from which the wastes were dumped.
Kelly failed to pay a fixed penalty notice, so the case was referred for prosecution.
He pleaded guilty to the offence at Hull Magistrates’ Court, received a criminal record and was ordered to pay £418 in fines and costs.
Ronnie Harrison, of 8th Avenue, Hull, was caught on CCTV littering from a vehicle on Newland Avenue, Hull, in August last year.

Harrison failed to attend Hull Magistrates’ Court and was convicted in his absence. He was given a criminal record and ordered to pay fines and costs to the council of £468.
Daniel Dragnea, of Alliance Avenue, Hull, was convicted for fly-tipping household furniture in October last year.
An old sofa was dumped on Alliance Avenue and had to be cleared by council.
The council obtained evidence and identified Dragnea as the person responsible for the waste.
He failed to respond to correspondence or pay a fixed penalty notice, so the case was referred for prosecution.
Dragnea pleaded guilty to the offence at Hull Magistrates’ Court and was ordered to pay fines and costs of £196 and given a criminal record.
Hull City Council is once again reminding people to dispose of their rubbish responsibly or face being fined or prosecuted.
Doug Sharp, the council’s Head of Waste Management, said: “These successful convictions are a clear reminder that we will not sit by and let fly-tipping and littering blight our city.
“We urge everyone to dispose of their waste responsibly. Excess household waste can be taken to one of the city’s three household waste and recycling centres.”
Hull’s household waste and recycling centres are free to use and open seven days a week from 10am to 5pm.
