Nearly 900 motorists are being refunded £88,000 in fines after a vandalised speed camera wrongly caught them for speeding.
The speed camera on the 50mph zone of the A338 in Bournemouth was found by Dorset Police to be 'out of alignment.' This meant the devices that covers the average speed limit zone of the A338 may have 'breached Home Office approval parameters'.
The police blame vandals for moving the camera and have contacted 844 motorists who were wrongly caught on the cameras between November 7 and December 16 2023.
Those drivers who have paid their £100 fine or the £120 for a speed awareness course are being refunded and those who incurred penalty points will have them deducted.
