Three men suspected of hare coursing near Goole “had nowhere to run” after being tracked by a drone.

Humberside Police were called to reports of suspected hare coursing on Hook Pasture Lane in Goole on Sunday 5th November. At around 8am, three men were seen on private farmland by a resident, with three dogs. It is reported that one of the men then set a dog onto a hare.
