Villagers catch fly-tippers dumping rubbish and block their escape (UK) 13/Feb/2024

This is the moment villagers banded together and blocked two fly-tippers who were dumping rubbish.
Quick-thinking locals used their cars to barricade the vans as they unloaded waste on a country lane on the edge of Meriden in the West Midlands. Pictures showed officers from Warwickshire Police seizing a white van following the incident on Maxstoke Lane on the Packington Estate on Wednesday.
Police said it was "some of the worst fly-tipping we had seen in a long time." Two men were detained and ordered to reload their vehicles with rubbish, with the vans then being seized under the Environmental Act.
Warwickshire Police wrote on their Facebook page: “We attended the Packington Estate on Maxstone Lane near Meriden to a report of two vans fly-tipping. We attended in support of North Warwickshire Local Policing officers who had been called to the scene after local residents and workers on the estate had blocked the offenders in.
