In North London, a five-year-old girl unexpectedly received a fine of £1,000 (124 thousand rubles) for littering.
Local environmentalists claim they caught her in the act.
However, the girl's father disagrees with the claim and believes that nothing intentional happened, the My London News article emphasizes.
The child's family received a penalty notice on November 20 from Harrow Council's new compliance team.
The document stated that the girl who committed the offence was spotted by an officer in uniform.
However, it was later established that the package with her name on it was found on the street far from her home.
Moreover, no one can confirm for sure that it was the girl who threw out the garbage.
The child's father called the situation absurd.
He also suggested that trash ends up on the streets due to overflowing containers that have rarely been cleared out in recent months.
