Fly-tippers caught in Rickmansworth

A van was seized and two men have been reported for offences following a fly-tipping in Rickmansworth yesterday morning (Wednesday 17 June).

Shortly after 10.30am, a call was received from a member of the public reporting that waste had just been dumped in Denham Way.

Officers from the Response team were dispatched and had located the van and its occupants within seven minutes.

They were escorted back to the location to clear the materials they had illegally dumped, before being informed that their van was being seized.

Both males have been reported to the council for civil enforcement. The driver was also reported for not having road tax.

Thanks to the swift actions of the caller, officers were able to quickly attend and take positive action.
