Suspicious Incident - Hare Coursing Activity Withybrook

🚨 Suspicious Incident – Hare Coursing Activity 🚨

We have received reports of a suspicious vehicle and individuals seen in fields, which may be linked to hare coursing activity in the area.

Hare coursing is illegal and often linked to wider rural crime, including damage to crops, trespassing, and intimidation of landowners.

👀 Please stay vigilant and report anything suspicious, such as:

• Vehicles parked by field entrances or gateways late at night or early morning

• Groups of people with dogs in farmland or open fields

• Unfamiliar 4x4 vehicles driving across fields

• Individuals using binoculars or spotting wildlife in fields

📞 If you witness suspicious activity:

• Report it to Police on 101

• In an emergency or if a crime is happening now, call 999

• Try to note vehicle registrations, descriptions, and locations if safe to do so.

Working together as a community helps protect our wildlife, farmers, and rural areas. Please share this post to help raise awareness.
