An appeal has been launched to identify two men council enforcement officers wish to speak to in connection with rubbish dumped in a village.

A van load of controlled waste was tipped in Cobham, near Gravesend, last month.

It is thought the waste was collected from somewhere in Medway from an innocent party before being dumped from the White Vauxhall Combo van on April 29.

A spokesman for Gravesham council said the offenders may have been involved in several other offences.

Officers are looking to find and speak to the two men pictured in connection to the incident.

The first person is described as white, of medium build, around 20-years-old with short light brown hair and the second is said to be between 18 and 20-years0old and of thin build.

Anyone who has any information relating to the incident, is asked to call the council’s environmental enforcement team on 01474 337978 or by e-mailing environmental.enforcement@gravesham.gov.uk quoting reference GBC/EE/54/23-4.
