Pusuit of game leads to fine

A HAILSHAM man has been ordered to pay £450 and been banned from driving for six months after admitting trespassing in pursuit of game in Cambridgeshire.

Aaron Gardener, 28, was one of three men who were found with two dogs and a dead hare in a car near Sterling Farm in Swaffham Prior, east of Cambridge, on November 22 last year, a court heard.

Gardener, George Stevens, 21, from Romford and Gordon Thompson, 56, of Croydon, all pleaded guilty. They were each fined £350 with a £15 victim surcharge and £85 costs.

A member of the public had alerted police after seeing three men hare coursing between Swaffham and Burwell, prosecutor Sally Rose told magistrates in Ely.

They were seen driving away from a car park and were stopped by officers. A search of the vehicle revealed two lurcher-type dogs hidden in the boot and a dead hare under the passenger seat. Police seized the vehicle.

Gardener had told police he was a rabbiting man and would never intentionally kill a hare.
