Stephen Harwood-Stamper has been found guilty of cutting down an Ulez camera just hours after it was installed. The former engineer was dismissed from his job, but wrote to the court apologising for his actions.
Harwood-Stamper was ordered to pay £2,467 to Transport for London and was also given a community order which included 80 hours of unpaid work.
The police had confirmed in late 2024:
“Stephen Richard Harwood-Stamper (04.08.1962) of Church Road, Broadbridge Heath, Horsham, West Sussex, is charged with criminal damage, contrary to section 1 of the Criminal Damage Act 1971, and using a false plate whilst driving, contrary to section 44 of the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994. He is due to appear at Bromley Magistrates’ Court on 27 November.”
