A prolific waste criminal has been ordered to hand over more than £1.4 million for illegally dumping more than 4,000 tonnes of waste across England – including at a farm in Peterborough.
A nationwide investigation by the Environment Agency uncovered a network of 16 illegal dumping sites, stretching from the South East to the North West.
Places the waste was dumped included Yaxley, Farcet and Thorney, a manor house at Ewhurst in Surrey, and at a warehouse at Margate in Kent.
Varun Datta, 36, of Little Chester Street, in Belgravia, London must now pay £1.1 million, reflecting the financial benefit from his crimes, plus £100,000 in compensation and £200,000 in prosecution costs. He was also hit with a prison sentence of four months, suspended for 18 months, as well as 30 days’ rehabilitation and 200 hours of unpaid work.
The case, heard at Birmingham crown court, also saw two others prosecuted.
Mohammed Saraji Bashir, 45, of Windmill Street, Peterborough, also got a four-month suspended prison sentence, unpaid work and period of rehabilitation, while Robert William McAllister, 55, of Iveagh Close, Northwood, London, was fined £750. Warrants for the arrest of two other men are still active.
Two more waste criminals, David Weeks and Lee Brookes, were given suspended prison sentences last year for the waste stored illegally at a rat-infested industrial unit in Margate.
