A man has been charged with wildlife offences after a warrant uncovered a shocking hoard of suspected poached deer skulls in Nottinghamshire.

Acting on intelligence, officers from the Bassetlaw neighbourhood policing team, Newark and Sherwood Operation Reacher and the force’s tactical support group carried out a warrant on Friday 24 February.

Working methodically through the address they found drugs, over 15 deer skulls, 13 fox tails, a quad bike, bags full of wire, a barrel of bleach, a rifle, ammunition, and a knife.
