Fly-tippers often do their dirty deeds under cover of darkness – but not this one.
This double mattress was dumped in the footpath which runs through the grounds of a city centre church this morning.
Shortly after midday, Leicester City Council's litter busters chanced on it on their way to another job and arranged for it to be removed.
Next, they hope to trace the person who left it there. If they do manage to find them, they will fine them up to £250.
Bemused passersby...
