FLY-TIPPING — IT'S A RUBBISH IDEA ! 

The Warwickshire Rural Crime Team recently dealt with offenders responsible for dumping a mixture of building and household waste in the Rugby area.

The occupants were also dealt with in relation to the fly-tipping offences, resulting in a hefty amount of fines.

A big thank you to the residents who provided the CCTV footage. Your information made a real difference and demonstrates just how valuable the eyes and ears of local communities are.
