Fly-tippers who were caught dumping rubbish on the M6 motorway were escorted more than five miles back to their waste by police and forced to pick it up. CMPG officers tweeted: 'M6 J12 to J13 a eagle eyed @HighwaysWMIDS who was monitoring the CCTV cameras notice the occupants of a Passat dumping rubbish in a ERA bay. 'We intercepted the vehicle M6 J14 to J15 and escorted them back clear their rubbish up. Keen-eyed Highways England CCTV operators saw the trio dump their rubbish on the side of the M6, before telling officers, who managed to catch up with the vehicle. Bloody fantastic work officers.'
