正文(英文) | Environment Agency raids Kent waste site in joint day of actionIllegal waste storage, metal theft and drug dealing prompts multi agency raid at site in Raspberry Hill, Sittingbourne Environment Agency officers working with Kent Police, Swale Borough Council, Kent County Council, BT Openreach and Kent Fire and Rescue joined forces to raid an industrial site at Raspberry Hill near Sittingbourne. The action took place following reports of building waste being illegally stored, drug dealing, metal/cable theft and planning regulation breaches. The raid is part of an ongoing Environment Agency action to crack down on illegal waste crime in the area, and led to obtaining vital evidence and information. Investigations are ongoing. As part of the raid, Kent Police also arrested 3 men who were taken into custody, and they found illegal drugs and seized a caravan, two dogs and two agricultural mowers, which are suspected to have been stolen. Everyone involved in the raid made sure the raid was conducted with social distancing rules in place with correct PPE to make sure everyone involved was safe. Sally Harvey, Area Director for the Environment Agency, said:
Chief Inspector Alan Rogers, Kent Police’s District Commander for Swale, said:
Anyone who suspects illegal waste activity is reminded to report it to our 24 hour hotline by calling 0800 80 70 60, or anonymously by contacting Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. You can check your waste collectors waste carrier’s registration or call 03708 506 506. Earlier this year the Environment Agency and partners launched the Joint Unit for Waste Crime, aiming to stop serious and organised crime in the UK waste industry.
