'We will find you,' fly-tippers warned

A council has warned fly-tippers "we will find you and we will take action", after a van linked to several incidents was seized.

The silver Ford van was believed to be linked to a number of fly-tipping incidents in Scholemoor Cemetery, Bradford Council said.

It was seized in the Bradford West area by officers from the environmental enforcement team, supported by West Yorkshire Police.

Councillor Sarah Ferriby said: "We are committed to fighting the illegal dumping of waste. I hope this case sends out a strong message that it will not be tolerated."

The council said an investigation into fly-tipping at the cemetery began in February last year and the van was seized on 6 November.

A spokesman said: "The investigation is still ongoing but the vehicle is believed to be connected to at least four other fly-tipping incidents across the district."
