In Santa Cruz, violators of public order were fined 3,300 euros for littering, walking a dog in an unauthorized place, and vandalism.
In the city of Santa Cruz, several people were fined a total of 3,300 euros for violating the rules of improvement. This includes improper handling of garbage, pollution of public places, and improper care of animals, according to the municipal services department of the city council.
The largest fine, 2,000 euros, was received by a store on El Pilar Street. On January 10, around 11:00 p.m., inspectors discovered that the store had thrown a bag of garbage not in a special area, but simply on the street. The bag contained unsorted garbage and was thrown out after hours. The city council considers this a serious violation.
Another fine of 400 euros was issued on April 12. Local police received complaints about a man walking his dog in Don Quixote Park, in the green area. This is prohibited by the rules of animal keeping, as it can be dangerous for the animal itself. In addition, animals are not allowed in playgrounds, unfenced areas, and flower beds in parks. Initially, the fine was 500 euros, but the dog owner appealed it, and the amount was reduced by 100 euros.
The third incident occurred on April 30. A young woman was fined 750 euros for vandalism. Metropolitano reported that graffiti was being painted on the wall of the Zurita Bridge. Police officers detained a girl with spray paint cans. Two other people involved in the graffiti were also identified. In addition to the fine of 750 euros, the girl will have to pay another 217 euros for the damage caused.
