Lorry driver caught smoking in his cab by dog warden is fined £260

A lorry driver has been prosecuted for smoking in his cab parked on a seaside promenade.

Leonard King, 55, of Kinmel Bay, Conwy, faces fines and costs of £260 from Llandudno magistrates for smoking illegally in his workplace.



He pleaded guilty by letter but said his prosecution was "over the top".

A dog warden spotted King smoking and flicking the stub out of the lorry's window. He also received a fine for depositing litter with the stub.
