“Their hobby, which is how they were given here, is no longer a hobby that any of them enjoy. They left because they learned the threat to themselves and to the general public. “
Hogg and Parr admitted to dishonestly obtaining services, causing a nuisance to the public and being discovered in closed premises at an earlier hearing.
