Poachers / Hare Coursers

A male from the West Midlands area has been interviewed by police in relation to suspected poaching offences around South Warwickshire including the Alcester area. He has been issued with a Community Protection warning by police in conjunction with the local district council, which severely restricts his future behaviour, access to land and movement of his dogs. A second male connected to him will also receive an Anti-Social Behaviour warning letter  in relation to suspected poaching. Any further reports are being monitored by police and the most affected areas are being regularly patrolled. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2004/37/contents
