Police launch appeal to find the owner of a caravan that appears to have been dumped into a riverside drain

The origins of a caravan left wasting away on a busy main road has left police baffled, as they continue to investigate how it came to appear.

The caravan, which was spotted by police on Monday in Fenland, Cambridgeshire, may have just arrived there accidentally, but police are thinking there’s more to this story than that, with authorities believing it to be a case of extreme fly-tipping. Police have since launched an appeal to find the owner and culprit.

In an effort to find the owner(s), officers posted pictures of the caravan on social media hoping that someone might recognise the caravan and be able to identify the owner.

On twitter, police reported: “Lost a caravan? We found one.

“Might need a bit of TLC,” they added, tongue in cheek.

However, there aren’t many people that would own up to having committed the act. And it also seems that no one has recognised the caravan as police later took to twitter to write: “No one has come forward to claim their caravan from this morning as of yet. Not surprised!”

Despite the dilapidated appearance of the old and battered caravan, the police are urging people to speak up. They are appealing to anyone with information to call 101.

Although caravan owners coming up with creative ways to dispose of their vehicle is always amusing, like this caravan dumped in a skip, we here at CaravanTimes urge you to be a bit more mindful.
