The team met again with 27 forces and CPS to discuss #harecoursing yesterday. This joined up work and guidance from CPS has resulted in huge reductions of incidents-Essex achieving a reduction of over 50% on last year. As harvest begins please report offences in the usual way

This afternoon local Breckland Police, our drone team and PC Lovelock have reported 4 men for going equipped for hare coursing in Bradenham and seized their vehicle #TopTeamWork #OPGalileo #OPRandall #HareCoursing #RuralCrime #1765

Outdated. Inhumane. Barbaric.

#Hare Coursing belongs in the history books. Neither Hound nor #Hare win in this twisted 'sport', both suffer at the hands of those who find perverted pleasure in watching a wild animal run scared from a pair of dogs.

Another Hare courser stopped in west Lancashire! We have an amazing network of farmers who let us know offences are taking place. He will be reported for summons to court. Vehicle and equipment seized . #SouthRTF #Harecoursing #wildlifecrime

PC Uren and PC Little patrolled the Vale of White Horse due to it being a harecoursing hotspot 🐇

They also conducted drone training flights to hone their skills

Drones allow large areas to be searched if necessary 🔭

Great to see Home Secretary Suella Braverman MP out on farm with NFU BB&O members to discuss the impact rural crime has on farming businesses and communities. Thank you Headys farm for hosting us, Greg Smith MP and TVP Rural Crime Taskforce 🚜 🚔. National Farmers' Union #flytipping #harecoursing

Another shameful #harecoursing supporter #le2024 #Ireland #AnimalCruelty

PC Uren and PC Shayler have patrolled the West Oxfordshire and Cherwell area today. This included harecoursing patrols of farmland and stopping several vehicles

Coursers claim that muzzling greyhounds protects the hare!
Or does the muzzle mean that the hare is pounded with it instead?
What about the harm caused to the hare by the dog's paws/claws?
What about a 40kg dog falling upon a 4kg hare at speed?
#HareCoursing

Both sentenced to

- 5 year Community Behaviour Order's
- £833 fine
- £330 victim surcharge
- £85 court costs
- Ordered to pay the Police kennel costs

The message is clear

Police are looking for a #MitsubishiShogunSport that has been driving through hedges and fields in the #Totford #NorthWarnborough and #RafOdiham areas. This vehicle doesn't have any number plates and is being driven at high speeds #OpGalileo HareCoursing #HantsPolRural 23206.

We responded to an #OpGalileo report of #HareCoursing this evening in #Well in the #HartSouth area. This was closely followed by a further incident in #Bentley .. The offending vehicle made off, using Byways and rural roads to escape. #HantsPolRural #23206
