Rural Crime and Poaching

🚨 Poaching Operation Update – West Mercia Police 🚨

On 4th December, West Mercia officers carried out a proactive operation targeting poaching in our rural communities.

During the operation, a vehicle suspected of involvement in poaching failed to stop for police. Due to the dangerous manner of driving and risk to the public, a pursuit was not authorised – safety is always our priority. ✅ Vehicle details were obtained, and an investigation into poaching and failing to stop is now ongoing.

A second vehicle was also seen, and officers successfully detained the offenders at the scene. They were dealt with appropriately, and further enquiries continue.

🔍 More operations are planned over the coming months as we remain committed to tackling poaching and protecting wildlife.

If you have any information about poaching, please report it via 101 or online at https://www.westmercia.police.uk.
