Authorities are searching for the operators of two trucks caught on video illegally dumping sewage in a restricted area near Cook’s Landfill, in an incident that has sparked widespread concern over environmental damage.
The footage, captured on a cellular phone, shows the trucks discharging waste into a location not designated for sewage disposal. The illegal dumping reportedly took place on Friday, at a time when teams were responding to an oil seepage in the vicinity.
Police have launched an investigation and are appealing to the public for information to help identify the truck and operator. Officials emphasized that dumping waste in non-designated areas is a criminal offence that threatens public health and the environment.
Environmental and health experts have warned that improper waste disposal can harm marine ecosystems, contaminate groundwater, and create broader risks for nearby communities. Police and regulatory agencies have pledged to pursue the matter rigorously and ensure that offenders face legal consequences.
