Police seize dogs and car after hare coursing in March

Two lurcher dogs and a car have been seized after police stopped suspected hare coursers.

The Force’s Rural Crime Action Team (RCAT) acted after a blue Ford was involved in hare coursing and driving across cropped fields in Littleport and then in March.

The vehicle was stopped near Turves and police say inside were two men, two lurcher dogs and an array of items including thermal cameras, catapults and ball bearings.

Both men were interviewed, issued with Community Protection Warnings (CPWs), given dispersal notices and reported to the court.

The dogs were seized and taken to police kennels, and the Ford was also confiscated.
