Lancashire police officer, Ivan Leivers, has had success with several recent anti-poaching operations, leading to eight offenders being summonsed to court.
PC Leivers said: “It is clear these people have no respect for the countryside and even less for the people trying to earn a living from it. I’ve had positive feedback from keepers and landowners since we caught the individuals and they have been reassured the positive police action will continue.”
