Two men have been arrested in connection with the illegal dumping of waste across England.
The men, aged 44 and 49 and from Sale and Rochdale, were arrested after a raid by Greater Manchester Police and Environment Agency officers on Tuesday.
The suspects were released after interview pending further enquiries, the Environment Agency said.
“These arrests send a simple message to waste criminals – we will stop you,” Emma Viner, from the Environment Agency, said, adding: “With local police forces, we have been working non-stop to progress our investigation and bring an end to this inexcusable criminal activity.”
