A CONSERVATION manager was left shocked to discover two abandoned and cut-up cars dumped alongside piles of rubbish in the field of a historic estate.
The abandoned motors were left in pieces in a meadow on Althorp Estate in Northampton, East Midlands yesterday, dumped presumably in broad daylight and with the help of a large vehicle.
Althorp Estate dates back to the 1600s and is currently a well-renowned tourist attraction with a conservation area situated on the grounds.
The dopey fly tipper left an easy trail for police to follow though, after the bags of household rubbish that were dumped contained bank details and other important documents.
The picture-perfect estate was tainted though when the dissected motors were dumped alongside bags of household rubbish, with police duly being contacted over the brazen fly tipping.
Images of the abandoned vehicles, already cut into small pieces, show them dumped and strewn across the large field.
The chopped-up cars appear to have been brought onto the estate from the nearby A road by a large vehicle, leaving staff baffled as to how they didn’t catch the fly tippers in the act, given that the HGV was likely brought onto their land in broad daylight.
Alongside the cars also lie several bags of waste and rubbish, scattered throughout the tall grass of the meadow and ruining the landscape.]
The snaps were shared to social media by the estate yesterday with the caption: “Unbelievably we had two cut-up cars dumped in one of our fields off the A428 earlier today, most likely in broad daylight.
“A very large vehicle must have been used. A lot of corresponding paperwork found with them. Northants Police informed.”
The post received over 180 likes and more than 25 comments from social media users who were left stunned at the scale of the fly tipping.
One user said: “Holy guacamole. This is quite bizarre. Now, seriously.
“If you were going to take the time to cut up and dump a car at a well-known estate, wouldn’t you also ensure you left behind no clues?”
Another added: “Unbelievable. Whoever they are, it wouldn’t take Poirot to follow their bank details. I wonder if they are the ones who have previously dumped on the land?”
A third wrote: “Not the brightest people, but might be stolen, stripped and dumped.”
Another replied: “Such an insult to such an otherwise beautiful and pristine meadow.”
