Four more men arrested in connection to hare coursing and violent disorder incidents across the county.
Police did searches in Slough and Reading on Wednesday, February 12. A Horton man, aged 44, got arrested along with two Datchet men, 19 and 44. A 28-year-old Winkfield man was arrested too. They are held for violent disorder and are also suspected of attending hare coursing events.
All four men are in custody now at Thorpe Wood Police Station, located in Peterborough.
The total arrests are now ten people. An 18-year-old man from Spalding, Lincolnshire, and a 26-year-old man from Grantham, Lincolnshire, were arrested on January 31.
A 22-year-old man from Chelmsford, Essex, and a 51-year-old Chelmsford man were arrested on February 4. On the same day, a 46-year-old Solihull man got arrested, followed by a 30-year-old Basildon man on February 5.
Police seized vehicles, hare coursing gear, and electronic devices in the case.
The six men from prior arrests gained bail. They have to return to the police at Thorpe Wood Police Station later, all under strict new rules.
They cannot own or control any dogs, or be on private land without permission. A dog must stay on a lead when in control, and they can’t ride with a dog outside a five-mile home radius, with vet appointments being an exception.
They can’t have catapults or air weapons and must not drive on private farmland without written permission. Don’t use public areas to chase hares.
They must not curse at anyone in twelve counties, from Cambridgeshire to Nottinghamshire.
