As reported by The Northern Echo, police in County Durham, arrested several individuals connected to organized crime last week suspected of committing numerous environmental offenses.
Julian Carrington, North-East manager with the Environment Agency, is quoted in the report as stating of the arrests, “This is a major operation and shows the extent to which organized criminal groups are involved in the illegal dumping of waste… This is serious crime with serious penalties, including up to five years in prison and unlimited fines.”
