A burnt-out van which was leaking oil into a river was found dumped at a Welsh beauty spot.
Shocking images show the full extent of the damage caused to the vehicle which was found in the river in Heol Y Felin in Hendy, near Pontarddulais, last week.
South Wales Police have confirmed that it is investigating the theft of a van.
One resident, who asked not to be named said that the incident was reported to police and was later removed.
She said: "My neighbour found the van and she phoned me to tell me about it. I then took photos.
"It was really sad to see, it’s somewhere a lot of local people walk and it’s the second time in a few weeks people have dumped things down there and set fire to it.
"The van was leaking fuel or oil into the river too which is concerning."
A spokeswoman for the force said: "South Wales Police is investigating the theft of a Ford Transit van, which was taken from Golwg Y Twr, Swansea.
"The vehicle is believed to have been taken overnight between Monday, February 10, and Tuesday, February 11. It was later found abandoned and destroyed."
