The court heard that officers from Salford City Council’s CCTV team saw the driver and passenger of the liveried rented van dumping the fridge freezer, bin bags, and other waste, on land at Harding Street, just after 11pm on Tuesday September 15, 2020.
Officers traced Obejo, 45, as the person who had hired the van and he was interviewed under caution.
