Two men arrested on suspicion of operating an illegal landfill site on a Frodsham farm have been released on police bail.

The 47-year-old and 55-year-old from Frodsham, who were arrested after the Environment Agency and Cheshire Constabulary executed a search warrant at the farm yesterday morning (September 24), are scheduled to answer their bail at Runcorn Police Station on January 12, 2015.

The warrant was conducted as part of an operation to ensure those who deal with the transportation, management and disposal of waste are authorised and are not putting the local community or environment at risk.
