A family linked to an illegal waste site in Lincolnshire must pay nearly £67,000 in confiscation orders following a Proceeds of Crime hearing. Judge Steven Coupland of Nottingham Crown Court ordered Joshua Canner, 30, of Bilston, Warwickshire, to pay £55,723.21, while his parents, Paul (55) and Judith (56) of the same address, were ordered to pay £8,294.11 and £3,120 respectively. The orders follow convictions in June 2024 of 12 individuals and a company for running an illegal waste site at Fen Lane, Long Bennington, investigated under Operation Lord. The Environment Agency said the confiscation will recover profits from the illegal activity and reimburse public funds spent on enforcement. The agency urged the public to report suspected waste crime to CrimeStoppers at 0800 555 111.
