A man has been charged following a report of hare coursing on a farm in Inverbervie.
The 39-year-old allegedly used two dogs to hunt the animals, resulting in the death of an unknown number of hares.
A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.
Local Policing Inspector for Kincardine and Mearns, Inspector Sheila McDerment said: "Hare coursing causes significant suffering to animals in the guise of sport and we will fully investigate all reports received.
"We recognise the impact this also has on rural communities and would urge anyone with concerns or information to contact us on 101."
