The police said: "Unfortunately for one person, they forgot to come back and move it. Despite the best efforts of family members, their persuasion didn't work and we seized it.

"One male ended up in handcuffs after we found out he was wanted. A good result today!

"We will take action against unauthorised encampments so always report them to us."
