The practices of the couple were investigated and evidence was found that the fines had indeed been deleted from the system. The fraud concerned fines that are collected by the City, and not by the police, such as driving down a street where it is prohibited during certain times, according to the spokesperson. The couple was already suspended, and were discharged Tuesday. The City of Zaanstad filed a police report.
