Magistrates handed out several hefty fines to Watford offenders last month.
The people in the list below have come away having to pay sums in excess of £1,000 after appearances in magistrates’ courts across the country.
Offences range from failing to give information to police, speeding, and assault.
The total balance to pay tends to be made up of a combination of fines, victim services surcharges, and costs - with the fine being the largest component in each case.
