Victory for farmers who sprayed travellers with manure in tractors as 500 squatters & 200 caravans FINALLY evicted
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FRENCH farmers who sprayed manure at squatters invading their land celebrated a major victory after a court ordered the intruders to evict. Agricultural workers from the village of Hautes-Vosges in eastern France feared prosecution after they sprayed a mixture of faeces and water across their farmland to push out the invaders. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 The trail of manure seen in the encampment Credit: Supplied 4 Furious farmers used tractors to spray the slurry across their agricultural fields Credit: Supplied 4 The hardworking farmers said they were driven to the boiling point Credit: Supplied Astonishing footage showed the furious farmers using tractors to spray the slurry across their agricultural field where the caravans were parked. The squatters, who parked their campers illegally, were seen battling to stop the onslaught of stinking faeces as the tractors chased them down. The hardworking farmers said they were driven to the boiling point after cops refused to step in and remove the "illegal gypsy camp" residing on their land. With harvest due in just a few weeks - and the invaders refusing to leave - they finally decided to take matters into their own hands. read more on the story POO LA LA Moment French farmers use tractors to spray hordes of travellers with manure The farmers told The Sun that a judge today ordered up to 500 members of a "travelling community of gypsies" to evict the encampment. François, 64, said: "It is a major victory for us. A civil court decision went in our favour. "The travellers were told to move out within 24 hours, or else face police intervention and fines. "Around 500 of them, travelling in about 200 caravans, all left." Loic Madre, the man who shot the video, claimed the travellers moved onto the field - meant for animals to graze on - without permission. To the farmers' delight, France's Interior Ministry said tighter controls on travelling communities would be introduced in the Autumn. Furious farmer caught a camper sleeping in his field and covered him in slurry An Interior Ministry spokesman said: "These measures aim, in particular, to increase prison sentences for illegal settlement involving acts of destruction, degradation, or deterioration, and harm to the natural environment." "Some 20 measures will be outlined in a legislative package that will be put to parliament in September." Travellers parking their caravans in any field they come across is viewed as a major problem across Europe, including in Britain. The squatters at Hautes-Vosges fought back against the farmers, attacking the tractor drivers and forming human chains to try and hold them up. One man was filmed jumping onto a moving tractor and frantically knocking on the driver's window. "The tractors almost knocked us over," said Olivier, spokesman for the Action Grand Passage association, which campaigns for traveller rights. "All we want is a place to stay for a few days, but these cowboys are stopping us," Olivier added. Last year, a similar tactic was adopted by Brit farmer Jack Bellamy when he caught a camper on his land. Shocking footage showed an angry Bellamy spotting the tent and saying: 'I tell you what, these ***** will set up anywhere.' He then jumped in his tractor and drove up alongside the trespasser, unleashing a 15-second blast of stinking slurry.

Police want help identifying two men after popular sweet shop was targeted by burglars
Police want help identifying two men after popular sweet shop was targeted by burglars South Wales Police have appealed for help in identifying two men after a burglary left significant damage to a shop Police are looking to speak to these men (Image: South Wales Police) Police have asked for help identifying two men as part of an investigation into a burglary at a Neath Port Talbot shop that resulted in significant damage. The traditional sweets shop called Sweet Delights was broken into at New Road, Skewen earlier this year. The burglary took place on Friday, March 21, at 2.15am and saw significant damage being done to the shop's façade. It appeared that someone forcibly entered the shop by breaking in through the main door, damaging a mechanism and shattering a window in the process. Ashley Couch, who runs the shop with his partner Rebecca Couch, told WalesOnline in March 2025 that they were alerted to the damage by a DPD driver who had called him after seeing the damage. The damage to left to the Sweet Delights shop in the wake of the burglary (Image: Ashley Couch) Mr Couch told WalesOnline: "At around 7am on Friday (March 21), we had a phone call off a guy who was doing deliveries in the local area, to tell us that our windows had been smashed. "We left the house straight away and when we arrived, we noticed that somebody had broken in. I was devastated, it's my little family business, it's one of those things where we have built it from scratch - only for someone to come along and destroy it all." Sweet Delights was opened in February, 2023, and specialises in retro pick and mix sweets like Swansea mixture and sherbet pips. Mr Couch said at the time that children had been left crying after the burglary as they thought the shop would be closed for good. Mr Couch had explained: "The community of Skewen has been behind us and trying to help us as much as they can. Everyone loves coming to my shop, because it takes them back to their childhood. "You don't see many sweet shops where you can get sweets out of a jar anymore. "When it happened, we were up there early before the kids were going to school, and the kids were going past and half of them were crying because they thought it was gone." It was expected that the damage would require thousands to fix. Now, South Wales Police is looking to identify the two men pictured above, who may be able to help with the investigation. In a post on the Facebook page, the force wrote: "Officers continue to investigate a burglary at a commercial premises on New Road, Skewen, Neath Port Talbot which took place at around 2.15am on Friday, March 21 and are appealing for any new information. "Substantial damage was caused to the shop façade in order to gain entry. "Officers are seeking to identify the two men pictured, who were seen on CCTV in proximity to the premises. "Though the resolution is limited, we are hoping that their general appearance, alongside the vehicle, could be recognised. Article continues below "Anyone with information should contact 101, quoting 2500089261." The force told WalesOnline no arrests have yet been made in relation to the incident.
