South Staffordshire Council is on the hunt for a fly-tipper they believe discarded the "large amount" of food and equipment worth about £1,000.

Footage captured on CCTV shows a van driver allegedly throwing out the food and items near Wolverhampton.

Council spokeswoman Rebecca Morris said: "The origin of the catering equipment is unknown and the council would like to locate the owner to return the items which are estimated to be worth about £1,000."

Council officers want to speak with this man

Council officers believe the fly-tipper was driving a white high top Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.

The white man, thought to be between 20 and 30 years old, is of slim build with short cropped blonde hair.

He was donning a yellow T-Shirt and yellow rubber gloves when he dumped the food and catering equipment in Bilbrook's Pendeford Hall Lane on February 26.

Officers from the council's enforcement team interviewed the registered keeper of the vehicle under caution and discovered the van used to fly-tip had cloned registration plates.

They are now calling on residents to offer information about the offender, the vehicle, or the origin of the fly-tipped items.
