A fly-tipper who was snared at passport control before jetting off to the sun has now been fined in the courts. Craig McCullough, from Wythenshawe, advertised himself on social media as a man with a van who would collect people's rubbish from their homes and dispose of it correctly, but instead he would dump it in a farmer's field.
The 34-year-old picked up the rubbish from an address in Macclesfield and dumped it in the field in Ashley, Cheshire, on May 16 last year after having been paid by someone to dispose of it legally. CCTV footage captured the van ramming into and damaging a wooden fence in the act, with police discovering it was registered to him.
Despite this he managed to evade cops for some time. This was until he was caught by Border Force officials as he attempted to board a plane.
