Crewe couple fined over rats infestation
11:43am Tuesday 21st February 2012 in News
A CREWE couple have been prosecuted by Cheshire East Council after failing to remove rats from their home in Lawton Street.
Steven and Violet Roberts were convicted after failing to comply with a council notice to remove rubbish and treat the vermin infestation at the property.
The pair were ordered to pay more than £850 at South Cheshire Magistrates Court last week.
Mrs Roberts had pleaded guilty in writing to the courts but Mr Roberts was found guilty in his absence.
