Four men who filmed themselves fly-tipping in north London have been stung with fines totalling nearly £2,000. The cheeky crew shot a video dumping rubbish late at night behind commercial bins on Crane Close, Harrow, before bragging about it on social media.
Trash Talk Leads to Big Trouble
The clip, titled “This is London Baby” and “How to manage extra dustbins,” showed the group dumping a toddler’s highchair, baby walker, and other waste. It caught the eye of council officers from the London Borough of Harrow, who wasted no time tracking down the culprits.
Confessions and Court Fines
The following day, enforcement officers knocked on the offenders’ door. One of the men immediately owned up, handing over his ID. All four – Darvin Sherathiya, Mihirkumar Prajapati, Hitendrasinh Padhiyar, and Adarsh Mourya – confessed under interview and faced prosecution.
At Willesden Magistrates Court on 5 February, each was slapped with a £469 fine, adding up to a hefty £1,876 total.
Moral of the story? Don’t film your crime spree – it’ll only land you in hot water.
