[Poaching / Tresspass incidents in the Upper Wharfedale region of Craven rural - Sunday 29/01/2012.]
On Sunday 29/01/2012 in the Upper Wharfedale region of Craven rural, we had two incidents of Poaching / Tresspass reported to North Yorkshire Police. The two locations were the Kilnsey and Threshfield areas, which are both near to Grassington. The reportees are both farmers and the incidents happened on their land. The nominals involved in the Poaching / Tresspass incidents are using dogs and ferrets to go rabbitting, and the dogs have also chased sheep. This activity is happening mostly on the weekends. No descriptions could be passed in regards to the nominals involved, as they dispersed quickly when approached, except for that there were groups of males involved in both incidents. Two vehicles have been spotted though, in regards to these incidents. They are a Vauxhall Vectra in Black and a Fiat Punto in Blue. No firearms have been reported in regards to these incidents, that said caution and safety is paramount in regards to dealing with these incidents. Please can all members report any suspicious vehicles and persons on land, as soon as possible and obtain full descriptions if possible. If you have any information please contact North Yorkshire police on 101. Many thanks, PCSO 6245 Battisson.
