17 year old from Weston Super Mare arrested in connection with hare coursing
A 19 year old man from Devon has also been arrested.
A 17-year-old from Weston-Super-Mare has been arrested on suspicion of hunting a wild mammal with dogs.
It's after a police operation in Gloucestershire following reports of hare coursing - and trying to stop poaching from farms.
Officers had received numerous reports from the farming communities on the Tetbury/Dursley border that they had seen a spate of incidents.
Sergeant Sam Swinford, from the Rural Crime Team, said: "I would like to thank the farmers and other members of the public for the information that led to these arrests. It's very satisfying that the poacher blocks are having the desired effect and helping us to target wildlife crime and preventing crop damage."
"We continue to urge the public to report offences like this to us as gathering intelligence helps us stop criminals in their tracks. Wildlife law can be complicated and we would rather you contacted us and we investigate, than not hear from you."
The teenager - and another - have been bailed as enquiries continue.
