A 52-year-old man from Ashford, Surrey, has been arrested as part of an Environment Agency investigation into illegal waste dumping in Kidlington. This marks the fourth arrest in the case, following previous arrests in November 2025 and October 2025. The Environment Agency’s National Environmental Crime Unit, supported by the South East Regional Organised Crime Unit, is leading the investigation to identify those responsible for the organized waste tipping. The suspect was released on conditional bail pending further inquiries. Authorities confirmed the site was closed in October 2025 after continued illegal activity, with waste removal planned for late February 2026. Updates will be shared via social media and the Environment Agency’s platforms. The Environment Secretary condemned the dumping as unacceptable, emphasizing efforts to combat waste crime through increased enforcement and penalties.
