Drone footage shows a fly-tipper dumping waste by a country road on the outskirts of St Albans.

A dog-walker filmed the man throwing piles of rubbish out of his Ford Transit van, on to a verge at Barley Mow Lane, near Colney Heath.

The offender admitted fly-tipping and a separate offence of carrying controlled waste in a vehicle without a licence at St Albans Magistrates' Court on 5 November.

He was ordered to pay a total of £821 including £307 compensation for the clean-up costs, £400 towards the council's legal costs and a victim's surcharge of £114.
