Latest News - Prosecutions

St Albans City and District Council‘s environmental health team launched an investigation into Total Cow, High Street, Redbourn, after a customer complaint.

Enquiries revealed the business was not registered and Craig Pesch, the operator, was interviewed about the issue.

A decision was later taken to prosecute and issue a court summons after Mr Pesch failed to agree to a caution.

Mr Pesch admitted the offence of failing to register at a hearing at St Albans Magistrates Court on Wednesday 21 May.

He was given a 12-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £26 and a contribution of £500 to the Council’s legal costs.

Mr Pesch, in mitigation, apologised and said he had wrongly believed he was not required to register because he had registered a similar business in Hemel Hempstead.
