“FARMERS in Sutton Bridge are delighted Lincolnshire Police is launching its first ever full-time team to combat hare coursing. 

Five officers and one sergeant start work next month.

County police received 1,200 reports of hare coursing in 2011/12 and are confident that number will go down with a team focusing on the crime.

Officers will work with other forces as hare coursing gangs travel across England, mostly targeting fields in autumn after crops have been harvested and in spring when new crops are growing.”
