Signature of the One Legged Builder

Aberdare’s Mysterious One Legged Builder strikes again.

A tonne of rubbish dumped near the site of the old Chicken Factory at the lower end of Trecynon, in Cynon Valley.

The One Legged Builder leaves something at the scene of each environmental crime.

Crime psychologists claim this is the One Legged Builder’s ’signature’ or calling card.

The One Legged Builder started his crime spree by dropping the odd wooly sock, but has gained confidence in recent attacks and started leaving a welly or work-boot (see photo), along with wheelbarrows full of building waste… some times even dumping the wheelbarrow!

Bryn Pica the local municipal dump in Cynon Valley is located two miles away at the top of Llwydcoed, however, builders are charged for tipping their commercial waste there and the One Legged Builder prefers to dump and let society pay.

In a statement today, local detectives advise members of the public not to approach the One Legged Builder claiming “He is hopping mad. Although he may only have one leg, we do not think he is armless.”
