That was one of a sequence. The bobbies liked it. In fact the person

Isn't throwing litter a crime?

Not on someone elses private property, as many farmers have discovered
to their cost when fly tippers have left the farmer with a huge cleanup
bill.

Then that's trespass, which I believe is a crime in England, but not in
Scotland unless damage is caused, which, under the scenario under
discussion, it would be?

Indeed, but the problem is catching them, even if they can be
identified. In rural areas this doesn't seem to be a very high
priority for overstretched plod.

Having a 8-wheeler full of asbestos roofing dumped in a remote
field is not much fun for the landowner.
