We have seen a significant increase in reports of hare coursing and the catapulting of pheasants across Wiltshire in recent weeks.
We are asking that people are vigilant when out in the rural areas and to report any suspicious incidents to police. This could include the presence of 4×4 vehicles driving fast over open land, the presence of lurcher type dogs and in particular those that are being released, flashing lights from the use of lamps, or congregations of groups in open farmland.
📞 Please report this by calling 999.
🚫 Please do not approach those involved in hare coursing or poaching activity but if you can provide a description of those involved, the vehicles being used, including make, model colour and index if possible and with a direction of travel this will help in the locating of suspects.
📞 Use APPS such as what3words to provide an exact location.
