Police and gamekeepers team up to protect deer
Police in Derbyshire equipped with rifles and nightvision goggles will team up with gamekeepers, landowners and farmers to protect deer and gamebirds in Robin Wood, near Melbourne, it has been announced.
PC Chris Fearn from Derbyshire Police said that an increasing number of poachers with guns and hunting dogs had been illegally shooting game.
He said: “Since the clocks went back, two deer have been killed and more than 70 pheasants and partridges taken. This is a sophisticated set-up — not someone taking the odd bird for themselves.”
