Another 17 people who were called on by police paid the fines on the spot and escaped a custodial term.

“There’s a number of warrants on the books and they will have to be cleared. If people pay their fines they won’t be gettting an early morning call from the police.

“It is not in our interests to take anyone to jail at this or any other time of the year,” the Inspector said.
