POLICE handed out 60 penalty notices in just two hours due to train fare-dodging at a busy Worcestershire station.

The Droitwich Safer Neighbourhood Team conducted a joint operation with the British Transport Police and the Railway Revenue Protection yesterday (Thursday, May 19).

During the operation, 60 people were issued notices for a lack of tickets within a two hour period.

The operation was to provide reassurance to passengers and reduce incidents of anti-social behaviour.
