A VEHICLE has been seized by Lichfield District Council after a member of the public captured a fly-tipping incident on camera.

The incident took place on Brookhay Lane in Whittington.

Following an investigation, two Lichfield District Council Environmental Protection Officers seized a white Toyota Yaris Cross from the offender’s workplace in Fradley on 12th August.

The owner was issued with a £1,000 Fixed Penalty Notice for fly-tipping, which has since been paid.

Cllr Richard Cox, Lichfield District Council's cabinet member for community and public Pprotection, said:

> "This is a great example of how information from our residents can help us take action against those who think it’s acceptable to dump waste in our district.  
>  
> "We want everyone to be able to enjoy a clean and welcoming district, and fly-tipping has no place in our communities.  
>  
> "We take reports seriously and will act where we have the evidence to do so.  
>  
> "I’d particularly like to thank the resident who reported this incident – their actions helped our officers investigate and achieve this result – and our hard-working team who respond to fly-tipping reports and work to keep our district clean."
