Breach of beach
protection Act costs man
By Deborah A Parker
A 52-year-old man was fined for breaching the Beach
Protection Act.
James Ryan was asked to pay $300 for sand mining when
he appeared before Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel yesterday.
In default he will spend 72 hours in prison.
Ryan was reportedly seen removing sand from the Red
Hills Beach at approximately 6:30 am on July 5.
The police were called, and the offender was caught with
sand in his truck. He would admit to the lawmen that he did
not have a permit to remove the sand.
Ryan in the meantime told the court that he is guilty of
committing the offence, and also expressed remorse.
“I doing ah little thing home. I didn’t know it was wrong
to take up two shovels of sand,” Ryan stated further.
