Two men have been ordered to pay out more than £12,000 after being charged with hare coursing offences under new laws designed to curb the devastating crime.

Darren Lee, 26, and Ronnie Doherty, 21, were the first people to be convicted in Lincolnshire under new and tougher legislation introduced in August last year.

The men were initially arrested in the Holbeach area after Lincolnshire Police received several reports of hare coursing in Gedney and West Pinchbeck on 25 August 2022.
