Fishy goings on in Barnham

A six-year-old boy found some fishy fly-tipping in Barnham.

Elyot Harmston was among four members of his family clearing the ditch in Hill Lane as part of their ongoing maintenance to encourage others to look after the area.

His mum, Polly Harmston, said: "We came across a very recently dropped parcel wrapped in several layers of black plastic.

"Elyot turned detective and offered to investigate, only to discover the package was in fact a very large koi carp.

"It clearly had died only a day or so before and had been dumped in the ditch in a rather pathetic attempt to get rid of the evidence.

"My guess is that it was probably stolen but died before it could be sold on."
