He was charged with overstocking fireworks in sales area, overstocking fireworks in the whole premises (874.25kg), and storing fireworks in an incorrect manner in the sales area ― all at a shop in Dock Road, Tilbury on 5 November last year.
The magistrates fined Rose £200 on each charge, and ordered him to pay a £200 contribution towards Thurrock Council’s costs, and a victim surcharge levy of £15.
