A HUSBAND and wife who were caught having sex in a car in Epping Forest have been ordered to pay £580 in fines and costs.

Harlow magistrates were told that a forest keeper saw Ozgur Altun and his wife Zeynep Arslan having sex on the back seat of a dark blue Nissan car in Fairmead Road, High Beech, at 3.30pm on Monday, October 9 last year.

Epping Forest keeper John Ward, prosecuting, said the man was asked to get out of the vehicle and told it was an offence to have sex in a public place.
