Three men were arrested after being discovered by police in a closed-off piece of land outside of a recycling centre.

On Thursday evening, the trio were found by officers who were carrying out compliance checks on the piece of land behind the closed Fenland Recycling Centre in Wisbech.

One of those arrested was found to have a bag of tools in their possession.

All three remained in police custody as of Friday - while officers continued with their enquiries.

The closure order was initially granted by the courts in December due to persistent reports of theft, trespassing, and nuisance behaviour.

However, an extension to this order was recently granted, the land is closed off to anyone other than employees of Cadent Gas, employees of Fosters Development LTD, authorised contractors, staff from Fenland District Council and the emergency services.

Failure to comply with the order is a criminal offence which could result in imprisonment of up to three months, a fine, or both.
