Essex waste crime
Last week, a second man was interviewed in relation to large-scale organised waste crime through fly-tipping across several counties.
The waste crime, which took place across counties including Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire and Essex, saw a man arrested on Thursday, August 1.
In addition, three warrants were executed by Hertfordshire Police.
The arrest was part of an Environment Agency investigation into the large-scale, organised dumping of waste across East Anglia and the Home Counties, named Operation Eagle.
