Lincolnshire Police
According to Lincolnshire Rural Crime Action team, three males from Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire have now been released on bail “having found out Toyota Rav4's can't cross ditches”.
In a social media post the officers said the “very damp hare coursers and a very cold wet dog” were arrested out in the Lincolnshire Fens between Chapel Hill and South Kyme on a very damp and miserable day.
The vehicle and dog were both seized after the 4x4 was extracted from the ditch by a local farmer with a forklift (pictured).
The action team spearhead the force’s Operation Galileo against hare coursing and rural crime.
