Vehicles and dogs seized for hare coursing offences in Peterborough

Police in Peterborough seized a number of vehicles and dogs in relation to hare coursing offences last week.

On Thursday (January 6), officers from Cambridgeshire Police’s Rural Crime Action Team (RCAT) chased down a Jeep Cherokee and seized two undernourished dogs in Thorney.

All of the occupants of the vehicle were interviewed and reported for hare coursing offences and the Jeep and two dogs were seized.
