Officers from #JUWC, @EnvAgencyMids & @WMerciaPolice conducted a vehicle stop operation near #StratfordUponAvon.

We used intelligence on misdescribed waste to identify and target this location. Misdescribed loads were found, and we’re conducting follow up enquiries.

Think #WasteCrime is boring? You might be right!

Organised criminals often try to hide their illegally dumped waste by burying it.

But we can use borehole machinery to see what is underground, like at this recent illegal waste site investigation with @EnvAgencyMids .
