Authorities are investigating two trucks captured on video illegally dumping sewage near Cook’s Landfill, raising fresh environmental concerns.
Cellphone footage shows the vehicles discharging waste in an area not designated for sewage disposal. The incident reportedly occurred on Friday while response teams were addressing an oil seepage nearby.
Police are appealing for public assistance to identify the trucks and their operators, stressing that illegal dumping is a criminal offence that endangers public health and the environment.
Officials warned that improper disposal can contaminate groundwater, damage marine ecosystems and pose risks to surrounding communities.

They are totally in the wrong to dispose waste in areas that are not designated for that purpose , but is it any different from the sand mining and demolishing of wet lands in the NEMA by the fictitious developer who was supposed to invest U.S $ 2bil in ten years? Remember the Lawless Leader came to his defense and berated anyone who protested.
@Rovi: Remember,not on scintilla of mangrove was removed up at YIDA.That was a darn lie.
@Rovi. Why on earth are you bringing up something completely unrelated to this specific illegal dumping story? Are you stupid or just forgot to take your medication this morning? Stay on topic Mr. Chip on your shoulder.
The truck operators and the companies they work for should be tracked down and criminally prosecuted. Make an example out of them.
Any large quantity of oil have to be Hadeed power station, but authorities on Antigua so afraid of this rich Syrian family that they will tip toe around them and harass a little trick man to create need sensation as though they acted.

It is funny that this is coming up now! Local Oils a company which collects oil for free, receives no help from the government who claims to care about the environment. Many promises are made by the government to support this company but none are kept. This company refines this waste oil and uses all the by products. It is a shame that we are farming oil into the ground when this oil can be collected by this company with a little help from the Government. I beg all concerned people to go and see the operation. The manager is Fletcher. He can show you.The writer is correct HADEED power plants produce the most waste oil and they are right opposite Local oils, but it is easier to give it to local truck drivers to dump at cooks! Mr. Prime Minister save our country for our children, your children.
