POLICE are appealing for information after a suspected incident of hare coursing in the Llanfyrnach area of north Pembrokeshire.
Hare coursing, where dogs compete against each other in pursuit of a hare, was outlawed by the 2004 Hunting Act, but now takes place illegally without the permission of the landowner.
The Country Land and Business Association (CLA) has previously said the crime sometimes involves live streaming to another location where bets, often worth thousands of pounds, are placed on the outcome.
Posting on Twitter today, August 30, Dyfed Powys Police Rural Crime Team wrote: “We have received info about a possible hare coursing in the Llanfyrnach area. If you see anything suspicious in our countryside call Ceredigion Rural Crime Team on 101, or 999 in an emergency.
“Please try and obtain as much detail as possible, including any vehicle reg numbers.”
