DRIVERS slapped with parking fines after dropping off and picking up others at an Argos have raised the alarm.
A series of motorists have contacted this paper after getting surprise letters from the company which controls parking outside the Wantage store.
It seems that automatic number plate recognition cameras are recording first entry and last exit from the car park, meaning anyone who pops in twice in the space of three hours gets landed with a fine.
