AN EAST Yorkshire man has been ordered to pay more than £1,400 in costs and carry out 200 hours of unpaid work, after selling counterfeit tobacco and fake designer clothing from a market stall.
Anthony Steven Firth, 26, of Cambridge Street, Bridlington, pleaded guilty at Hull and Holderness Magistrates Court last month to seven charges of dealing in counterfeit goods at Skirlington Market.
The prosecution was brought about by East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s Trading Standards and Humberside Police.
At a sentence hearing, Firth was given a community order for 12months, ordered to undertake the unpaid work, and pay prosecution costs of £1,464.51.
