The crackdown on illegal poachers across the Fens continues to gather apace for Fenland police officers, including suspects found hidden in a barn.
Cambridgeshire Police’s Rural Crime Action Team (RCAT) were called to Gorefield this week, where poachers were stopped in their tracks.
Writing on the Policing Fenland Facebook page, a police spokesperson said: “The RCAT were out in force in Gorefield when they stopped these poachers by using a mixture 4x4s and police dirt bikes, to patrol and stop poaching in its tracks.
“Four community protection warnings issued and a vehicle seized.”
Meanwhile in Turves, the RCAT were called to reports of poachers at a farm.
“RCAT arrived and observed the suspects enter a farmyard and hide in a barn,” said the spokesperson.
“They were quickly found and detained by the team who issued force community protection warnings, three dispersals and seized their car.”
