Derek Jackson, 39, of Eastern Terrace, Wallsend , has been found guilty of four waste offences carried out in Newcastle earlier this year.

On 25 January, Jackson, alongside another man, was seen by Newcastle City Council enforcement officers loading metal light fittings into a black and red Ford Transit van in a car park off William Armstrong Drive.

On closer inspection by the officers, more miscellaneous scrap metal was found in the van.
Although initially claiming he was a licenced waste carrier in the city, he later admitted in interview he was not authorised to transport waste.

Jackson, who did not attend his hearing at Newcastle Magistrates’ Court on Friday, was found guilty of illegally operating as a scrap metal dealer, illegally transporting controlled waste, failing to take required records when dealing in scrap waste and failing to provide information to an authorised officer.

In his absence, Jackson was fined £660 for each charge.
