Investigation launched after a quarter tonne of cow guts fly-tipped in West Norfolk
It comes amid a 12% increase in fly-tipping incidents in the district
An investigation's underway after cow guts were found fly-tipped at the side of two major roads in West Norfolk.
They're now looking for witnesses after the incident, which led to a multi-agency clean-up operation.
It comes amid a 12% increase in fly-tipping incidents in the district.
In two separate incidents, animal remains were found dumped on the A10, near Garage Lane in Setchey on August 17.
The following morning on the A17, an even larger amount of cow guts were found dumped on the A17 westbound near Clenchwarton.
All have been disposed of by the council’s public open space team.
Cllr Sandra Squire, cabinet member for environment and coastal, said: “We have reported this matter to Trading Standards and the Food Standards Agency, as it would appear that the proper processes for the slaughter and disposal of animal products has not been followed.
“I would like to thank the police and the council staff for their prompt action in dealing with this very unpleasant matter so effectively.
“If anyone has any information or saw anything suspicious on the night of 17 August or early hours of 18 August, we would be grateful if they could report it to us."
