PC Kinge has spent a large duration of their late shifts throughout this week reaching out to rural communities to prevent Wildlife Crime, mainly poaching. Rural patrols have been conducted in the late hours in locations within the Amesbury Neighbourhood patch such as Everleigh, Collingbourne's, Netheravon, Chute's and Salisbury Plain. During these patrols farmers/landowners were seen and spoken to. I would like to take the time to express the importance of reporting wildlife crime. Please see some information on this below:
What is a wildlife crime? • poaching • coursing • offences against badgers and bats • offences against birds • egg theft and collection • collection of or trade in protected species and animal products • not registering animals which require a licence • taking protected plants • use of poisons, snares or explosives to kill or injure animals • animal cruelty • hunting with dogs • introducing invasive species • killing or capturing, damaging or destroying the habitat of any protected animal • illegal fishing
Report it- If you think a wildlife crime is being committed then contact us by reporting a crime online. If a crime is happening or someone is in danger, call 999. If you have a hearing or speech impairment, use our textphone service 18000 or text us on 999 if you’ve pre-registered with the emergencySMS service. You can also report wildlife crime anonymously to Crimestoppers, by calling 0800 555 111.
We’d rather you contacted us and we investigate, than not hear from you.
