A spokesman said: “The eagle-eyed member of the public had managed to obtain a cracking photo of the vehicle. The driver was blatantly off loading a load of rubbish into a farmer’s field gateway.

“We attended the registered keeper’s address in Coventry.”

The vehicle was located near the property so under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, police recovered the vehicle as both evidence of the offence, while also preventing further offences.

Details were then handed over to the Rural Crime Team who will be completing a detailed investigation.
