A member of the public alerted officers from the Tactical Enforcement Unit (TEU) to a suspicious vehicle on Victoria Drive, Eastbourne on the morning of May 2nd. The TEU officers were informed that the vehicle’s occupants were taking scrap metal from people’s driveways without permission.
After locating and stopping the vehicle nearby, officers discovered that the occupants did have permission to collect the scrap metal found in the back of the van. However, they did not possess a Waste Carrier’s License and the driver was uninsured.
