Appeal launched to catch fly-tipper who dumped tyres
A council is appealing for help to catch a fly-tipper who dumped a large pile of tyres.
The fly-tipping incident took place on Ridgeacre Road, in West Bromwich, on Sunday at 7.45pm.
A white pick-up Ford Transit van could be seen pulling onto a car park and discarding the items.
CCTV images also captured a figure walking by the van wearing a green hooded coat and black trousers.
Sandwell Council said the perpetrator will be fined £400 if caught.
The local authority says people can contact them in the strictest confidence.
Sandwell Council tweeted: "We’re getting really tyred of this.
"Someone dumped tyres on Ridgeacre Road in West Bromwich on Sunday 4 July at 7.45pm.
"The truck has distinctive yellow sides - they concealed its reg plate.
"Someone must recognise them. Help us fine them £400 - DM us in strict confidence.
"Please note - the branding on the side panels has nothing to do with the fly-tipping.
"Any information on the person in the photo and the truck gratefully received in strictest confidence."
In English law, fly-tipping is a criminal offence punishable by a fine of up to £50,000 or 12 months imprisonment if convicted in a magistrates’ court.
