Shreveport is getting tougher on residents who leave old broken down cars in the yards.

The fines are going up to $100 for a first offense. The old fines had been between 10-15 dollars, but that is changing. It's part of the city's effort to clean up our neighborhoods. A second offense will cost residents $400. The new fines go into effect today.
