CCTV Caught in the Act πŸ‘€πŸ“Ή

A visitor to Inverness Marina, believed to have been travelling in a camper van, was caught on CCTV carrying out a rather unusual little operation…

First, she appears to recce the property, before leaving and then returning a short while later. She proceeds to move a barrier, dump around 2 litres of food waste behind a container, and then β€” in an impressive attempt at concealment β€” tries to cover it up with freshly picked grass! πŸŒ±πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

Unfortunately, the cameras were watching. πŸ“ΉπŸ‘€

If you’re visiting, please remember that food waste and rubbish must be disposed of responsibly. Moving barriers and dumping waste on someone else’s property isn’t acceptable.

Nice try… but not quite! 😏

If this was you, we’d be very happy for you to come back and collect your rubbish properly. ♻️

Last month it was visitors sneaking around the back of the container to relieve themselves! Whatever next!!!
