"It’s a criminal act and we will not tolerate people treating our borough like a dumping ground.
"Grime crime is something our residents have told us is a top issue for them, which is why we take a zero-tolerance approach against those we catch in the act, and why we have increased our patrols and surveillance in problem areas.
"This person has learned an expensive lesson and we hope it sends a message to others in our borough."
