Two cautioned after waste fraud investigation

by Samuel

Two people have been cautioned following a police investigation into fraud at a waste depot.

It was alleged that payments had been taken to mis-report the amount of waste being brought into Bristol Waste's site in Kings Weston Lane, Avonmouth.

Avon and Somerset Police said two men received conditional cautions for fraud by abuse of position in January and that "no further action will be taken against any of the other individuals who were questioned".

A Bristol Waste spokesperson said the council-owned company "is not and has never been under investigation".

During enquires a number of individuals voluntarily attended police interviews before the case was referred to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in October 2024, a police spokesperson said.

After considering whether any charges should be brought, the CPS indicated that two of the men should receive conditional cautions.

"All parties have been updated of the outcome," the spokesperson added.
