Police are trying to identify fly tippers who dumped rubbish at a beauty spot in the west of the island.

The load was left overnight on Sunday/Monday at Eary Cushlin near Dalby.

A police spokeman said: ’This is absolutely shocking and the attached pictures speak for themselves.

’Whoever has done this gained access via a padlocked gate and dumped this load, not only on one of our most treasured beauty spots but in an area where livestock roam. It could have endangered animals.’
