A parking fine has escalated to the point where police action was required to help resolve the dispute.

Bailiffs went to an address in Raeburn Road, Edgware with a court warrant to seize goods relating to a parking fine.

The fine had escalated to £500 after the person being fined had declined to pay up.

A spokesperson from Harrow police said: “The police’s role was only to keep the peace.

“The issue was resolved with further enquiries to be made by the bailiffs.”
