Officers are on the trail of a couple of persistent fly-tippers blighting the countryside. The fly-tippers are caught on camera loading their truck with 150 bags of waste. Then, just days later the same bags are found dumped in remote woodland, deep in the Rhondda Valley in south Wales. 

They also raid an address in Lincoln where dogs are being kept and trained for illegal dog fighting. Some of the dogs they find are so aggressive they need to be sedated. And they track down a fraudster running a cruel online job hoax which gives false hope to people desperate for work.
