CCTV footage showed the white Ford Transit van stopping at Westgate in Bradford.

The driver and three passengers loaded a large amount of commercial waste from a business before getting into the van and driving away.

The waste was found fly-tipped at locations including Mutton Lane, Shay Lane and Long Lane.

Councillor Sarah Ferriby, Bradford Council’s Executive Member for Healthy People and Places, said: “This again shows the results of our collaborative working with West Yorkshire Police enabling our Environmental Enforcement Officers to take prompt and decisive action.

"Taking this vehicle off the road has enabled us to disrupt the illegal waste activities of those involved.

"Investigations are ongoing and those associated with the vehicle are due to be interviewed shortly. If the vehicle is unroadworthy and has no resale value it will be crushed.”

Anyone who sees fly-tipping taking place is asked to note down as many details as possible, including times and dates and vehicle registration numbers and inform the council on 01274 431000.
