Fly-tippers who dumped waste containing asbestos have been branded a “disgrace”.
North Wales Police ’s Rural Crime Unit have launched an investigation after a huge pile of waste made up of an old roof was dumped on a country lane between Llanelian and Bryn y Maen in Conwy.
The unit said that evidence had been located within the pile which could help them to link the crime to the perpetrator.
On Twitter, they said: “What an absolute disgrace.
“We need to catch this offender who doesn’t care about anything but saving the disposal costs by taking this dangerous waste to a regulated tip.
“Have you or a neighbour recently had roofing work done in the Conwy county or surrounding areas?”
They said the waste was made up of asbestos sheets.
Anyone with information has been asked to contact the force on 101.
