Bromley: Man sentenced after being caught destroying ULEZ camera

A man who was caught by officers destroying a ULEZ camera in south-east London has been sentenced.

Stephen Nunn, 60, of Corkscrew Hill, West Wickham, was sentenced at Bromley Magistrates' Court on Wednesday December 13 to a 12-month community order, which includes 100 hours of unpaid work. He was also made to pay compensation of £349.

He previously pleaded guilty to criminal damage at the same court on Friday, 17 November.

At around 10.20pm on Friday October 27, officers were on patrol in Hayes Road in Bromley when they spotted Nunn dressed in black and carrying a large metal pole with a can of spray paint attached to the top.

Officers then saw Nunn point the pole at a ULEZ camera before spraying it with white paint.

He was stopped nearby and arrested.

Officers later searched his home where they found several anti-ULEZ posters.

The Met Police says it continues to treat criminal activity in relation to ULEZ seriously and has deployed considerable resources to their operation.
