An appeal has been launched after a pile of rubbish was found dumped in Conwy.

Rob Taylor, team manager for North Wales Police Rural Crime Team, said the rubbish - which includes mattresses, doors and even a television - was found at Bryn Dansi Woods near Llanelian and reported at 7.30am yesterday morning (Tuesday, November 29).

Mr Taylor said an investigation of the rubbish, including a search for fingerprints, will now take place but officers have already discovered documentation with names and addresses among the debris.

He said: "Have you asked anyone to dispose of any rubbish for you recently? Do you suspect a neighbor or someone else of dumping rubbish? Call 101 and ask for the rural crime team."

In a post displaying the rubbish, @NWPRuralCrime tweeted: "Oh dear, the tipper forgot about some letters in the rubbish with names and addresses. Keep your ears out for the doorbell sir. Enroute!

"You thought you would save money didn't you? Did you take into account DNA, fingerprints and documentation. Big mistake. See you soon."

Mr Taylor also said incidents such as these can be very dangerous to surrounding animal habitats.
