Londoners went onto closed roads twice

Going onto closed roads has cost two MGP visitors almost £3,000.

Russell John Gray, aged 68, of Ennismore Mews, and 66 year old Yeesan Chin, of St Philip Street, both of London, appeared before Deputy High Bailiff Rachael Braidwood.

Both were arrested yesterday after twice walking on a stretch of road between Tynwald Hill and Ballacraine.

The court heard the area wasn't part of the racetrack but was covered by the road closure.

They were fined £1,400 each, as well as being ordered to pay £125 prosecution costs.

Both were ordered to pay the amounts immediately or serve 70 days in prison.
