Police are investigating after suspected hare coursers caused £1,000 of damage to crops when a 4x4 was driven across a field.
Lincolnshire Police said the incident was reported on 5 November, shortly before a dispersal order was put in place in the south of the county.
Under the order, suspected hare coursers could be told to leave the area and faced arrest if they returned.
Six other reports were received over the weekend, police said.
Supt Lee Pache, from Lincolnshire Police, said: "We had a number of incidents reported in the Boston and South Holland area on Saturday.
"As a consequence of that, over £1,000 of damage to a winter barley crop was caused."
