Rural crime officers from Rutland and Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Nottinghamshire came together at Belvoir Castle
recently to launch this year's Operation Galileo to tackle illegal hare coursing across the region. In the past year they've received 276 reports of hare coursing, with 33 people arrested and 15 dogs and 14 vehicles seized.They say they often get multiple reports of the same incident, but every report helps them build a clearer picture to respond to and continue to call 999 if you see it taking place at the time. They say the illegal practice causes thousands of pounds worth of damage to land and crops, and land owners and farmers are often faced with unacceptable intimidation and violence.
