A FRUSTRATED farmer decided it was time to stop treading lightly after finding hundreds of tyres dumped on his land.

Stuart Baldwin says he is targeted at least once a week by fly-tippers.

And he finally lost his rag after finding 421 tyres abandoned in his livestock field. The act was caught on CCTV so Stuart says he was able to track down the alleged fly-tipper to his nearby home.
