MAKING a trip into Pembrokeshire during lockdown cost a Cardiff driver a total of £434.

Anthony Dennis Crosby, 40, of Llandaff North, appeared by live link at Llanelli Magistrates Court on Tuesday April 13.

Crosby, who had previously pleaded not guilty to the charge, was fined £200 and ordered to pay £200 costs to the Crown Prosecution Service and a surcharge of £34.
