Taskforce clears up a Pick 'n' Mix bag of crime
Two arrests were made and booze was seized from a group of street drinkers during a swoop on envirocrime and anti-social behaviour in the borough’s Northfield ward.
Graffiti was removed from more than 30 locations and 6.5 tonnes of fly-tipped rubbish was taken away from areas in and around Northfield Avenue.
A 30-strong team of Ealing Council’s community safety and envirocrime officers, the police, DVLA and the Environment Agency carried out the work.
The two arrests related to the sale of counterfeit DVDs and failure to produce documents relating to the transfer of waste.
Council Leader Jason Stacey said: “This was a successful event and we tackled a wide range of anti-social behaviour and envirocrime issues in Northfield.”
