Police warn hare courses that they're not welcome in Essex
AS a new hare coursing season begins, Essex Police’s rural engagement officers are keen to remind would-be hare coursers and poachers they are not welcome in this county.
The team focus on hare coursing and poaching as they understand the damage, the cost of that damage and the fear this vicious crime can cause in our more isolated communities.
Sergeant Paul Brady, of the Essex Police Rural Engagement Team, says:
“Our work with NPAS, neighbouring police forces and the CPS means that hare coursers are increasingly avoiding our county because there is a higher chance we will catch them."
