Drone footage shows suspected hare coursing

Police have released drone footage which appears to show several people participating in hare coursing and damaging fields.

Officers were called to Mill Lane in Therfield, near Royston in Hertfordshire, on Saturday to reports of several people in vehicles trespassing on private land.

Sgt Alex Winning said it was believed the vehicles set off from Cambridgeshire and were used to break through gates.

"There was significant damage to arable land caused by 4x4 vehicles and hare coursing offences committed contrary to the Hunting Act of 2004," he said.
