Two police officers in Northern Ireland, who stopped for a break at a public car park in Co Antrim while on duty, have been fined for littering.
The PSNI members, based at Newtownabbey, were prosecuted today over an incident at a public Car Park in Ballyclare which took place a year ago.
Fines of £250 each were imposed on Constables Kim McKee and Donal Adams at Belfast Magistrates' Court.
Both acknowledged they had been at the car park drinking tea and coffee during a break while on duty.
But they denied a claim from a litter warden that a tea bag and a milk carton had been thrown from the police car they were in.
Constable Adams was given a further penalty of £100 for lighting a cigarette in a work vehicle before tossing the butt out of the window.
