Investigators from the Environmental Agency in the UK have questioned two men who work for a skip hire (waste disposal) firm that is believed to have been involved in transporting one of 11 loads of illegal asbestos dumped in south Essex this year. Officers are looking for the owner or driver of a red and blue waste disposal truck with the registration P367 LOB to help with inquiries.
An employee from the same company was arrested earlier after being connected with a load of illegally dumped asbestos that came from a church in northwest London. The investigation has also involved a search of the premises at two locations and the seizure of a large number of documents.
