Shooting hares with an air rifle...albeit without permission. Much ado about nothing me thinks.

Its not so funny when its your crops being driven over and trashed, or you have to go and sort out the wounded wildlife, or its your windscreen that has a rock through it. If you don't have the scum doing this, you are very lucky.Shooting hares with an air rifle...albeit without permission. Much ado about nothing me thinks.
Yes. As with most crime, a small number of folk are responsible for a great amount of it. You can sit in Gainsborough Morrisons and collect half a dozen number plates of untaxed or untested white ford transit tippers and then ring them all in to the police.The hare coursers and poachers are often on the lookout for things they can pinch
Round here we report any suspicious vehicles vrn giving the police a reason to stop them and search their vehicle
These people do it thinking they have little risk
We need to make them fear being caught
Photo any suspicious vehicle and report ninmber get a crime number the higher the rural crime stats the more resourced we get
Hey, I’m not saying it’s funny, or not of concern per se.
But the idea of 4 adults coming 200 miles from Essex to Dorset with an air gun to drive about on farmland and shoot at hares is a fairy story.
The reporting and or the police input doesn’t add up. Was this at night or in daylight either way no hares were ever taken with a car and an air Gun!
But why drive 200 road miles to drive on Dorset fields? Sounds like a stag night out on pee more than criminal intent from report above? No dogs mentioned!!
(Ps. lot of game keeping in my past ....also have gypsy and deer experience with in laws who suffer fair bit on farm near Bath)
Yep we can all work this out so why can't the plod I wonder.....Yes. As with most crime, a small number of folk are responsible for a great amount of it.

Quite a lot will have "tree services" or similar on them with associated pre-fly-tipping conifers; several will be carrying scrap despite having no registration as a waste collector or transporter.
Few quid on some GPS trackers and a half-interested plod and you'd catch the lot.
Under resourced! What can you expect when they'd institutionally prefer to stand around watching crimes than do their duty to keep the peace?Yep we can all work this out so why can't the plod I wonder.....
And all we have is an iPhone
there was a lad in the aikido club who was a police officer, years ago. He mentioned that one Friday evening there were two police officers covering the whole of the county (the rural bits) and bear in mind this was the biggest county in Wales (before Powys/Dyfed/Gwynedd was invented).so maybe the issue is lack of resources, I bet once you arrest someone, there will be a mountain of paperwork to follow up on it with too.Under resourced!

They're advertising for many desk jobs in Lincoln. Psychological needs and trauma coordinators, all sorts.there was a lad in the aikido club who was a police officer, years ago.

Exactly ajcc is a ☆unt or a caccer!!!Have you been on the receiving end of this sort of situation?
Guessing not by your post?
There are no rural police anymore... just accept itThey're advertising for many desk jobs in Lincoln. Psychological needs and trauma coordinators, all sorts.
Thing is, even when we hand the crime on a plate nothing really gets done.
Fine, then they will have to be content with the local vigilantes catching them and sorting them out.There are no rural police anymore... just accept it
I was stood looking at some ivy leaves on a patch of concrete at home wondering what, then noticed a pile of scrap batteries gone. Beware what’s under the bushes as they say.Yes.
