Prince George’s County Police Officers and Investigators prevented two attempts to illegally dump commercial trash in a County neighborhood and arrested two men who had open warrants out for their arrests.The sting operation at 4 am this morning on Cryden Way near Marlboro Pike was led by Chief Hank Stawinski and was the result of a collaboration between PGPD and the Prince George’s County Department of Public Works and Transportation. The Chief said, “Our business owners were tired of walking out of their businesses and seeing piles of trash that belonged in a dump and not across from their places of work. We took that tip and showed up under the cover of night and caught two construction trucks on the verge of dumping more trash, but we stopped it. We want our community to know that we take your tips seriously. We embrace County Executive Angela Alsobrooks’ mandate to keep our neighborhoods free of trash. We are all proud of where we work and live and we are putting illegal dumpers on notice. If you illegally dump commercial trash in our neighborhoods, you will face arrest.”
Ten new hidden cameras have been installed throughout the county to catch people illegally dumping.
