Posted by City police began an investigation over the weekend after hearing reports of illegally dumped material.
The reports led investigators to two separate locations in Brantford near Spalding Drive and Golf Road. A third location was discovered Monday morning near Edge Street. In all three locations, containers containing unknown
substances, likely industrial chemicals, were found to be illegally dumped.
