Lorry linked to major flytipping incidents that blocked roads in Walsall seized in joint operation
A lorry linked to several significant fly-tipping incidents in Darlaston and Willenhall which blocked off roads has been seized, chiefs have said.
The HINO Hiab dumped large quantities of industrial waste on November 10 and 11 on Kendricks Road, Darlaston, and Ezekiel Lane in Willenhall.
It was seized by Walsall Police alongside staff from Walsall Council after it discovered at an industrial estate in the borough completely unattended.
Councillor Gary Perry, deputy leader for resilient communities, said the authority would continue to tackle the criminal activity "robustly".
He added: "Fly tipping is a blight on the borough and costs the public purse a significant amount of money to clear; money that should be being spent on other essential services."
