PEOPLE who try to avoid paying court fines will be targeted in a nationwide month-long campaign launched today (Monday) by Her Majesty's Courts Service.
Operation Crackdown will see court enforcement officers and police involved in a series of blitzes on offenders' homes to chase up payments.
Approved enforcement agencies will also be issued with warrants to confiscate property.
Where necessary, those who refuse to co-operate will be arrested. Court time will be set aside to deal specifically with the dodgers.

In the 12 months to last September, 960 attachment of earnings orders and 11,031 deduction from benefits orders were issued in the two counties.
