Carmarthenshire County Council is looking for help to identify an individual caught committing a fly-tipping offence.
On 7 February 2024, a person was captured on CCTV walking towards the waste bin compound for Y Ffwrnes Theatre with a carrier bag. She then discards the bag on the ground outside of the bin compound and walks away, despite signs at the site against fly-tipping.
A still image has been captured from CCTV in relation to the incident with the hope that residents may be able to assist in identifying the individual.
Cllr Aled Vaughan Owen, Cabinet Member for Climate Change, Decarbonisation and Sustainability said:
We are asking members of the public to help identify the individual captured on CCTV. Our Environment Enforcement Team work hard to ensure that environmental offences are enforced whenever possible to help keep Carmarthenshire clean and to deter future offences.”
If you are able to identify this person call 01267 234567 or email
This information is being disclosed under the exemption from the provisions of the UK General Data Protection Regulation found in Schedule 2, Part 1, paragraph 2 (1) (c) of the Data Protection Act 2018 as not disclosing these images would prejudice the purpose of apprehending or prosecuting an offender.
Is this a serious post? Looks like an elderly lady to me – hardly a master criminal with a master criminal mind. What if this lady is suffering from some form of dementia or might be completely unaware that she’s committed a crime of any sort. I completely agree that fly tipping should not be a convenient way to dispose of rubbish and should be discouraged. This does seem like naming and shaming without any compassion. This lady should not have done what she did but putting this on Facebook makes me feel really uncomfortable. I’ll wait for the reaction ……
Look at the comments under the original post from CCC. Faith in humanity restored. Looking for an elder woman who left a bag next to a probably a full bin, rather than chasing true fly tippers that dump mattresses and fridges.
