Reports of Hare Coursing

The Rural Crime Team have recently received reports of Hare coursing near to Alcester and Lutterworth.

Hare coursing tends to start after harvest when fields are left without standing crops up to Spring time. Coursing is more likely to take place at dawn or dusk but it can also take place in broad daylight.

If you see an event taking place we would advise you not to approach the participants but to contact the police immediately on 999. If it is safe to do so it would be helpful to pass on further information regarding potential vehicles involved, descriptions of people and/or dogs and a what 3 word of the location, but only if it's safe to do so.

If the incident has already occurred and not ongoing then please do report it via 101 or on www.warwickshire.police.uk

Many thanks,
