Three men were arrested in connection with hare coursing in the Fens.

Cambridgeshire Constabulary's Rural Crime Action Team (RCAT) were called to Chatteris on Tuesday following reports of hare coursing taking place.

Three men were seen with two dogs chasing a hare across the fields. 

They made off in a vehicle from officers but soon were caught with a successful sting in Warboys by the team.

Even though the car had been stopped, the three men didn't give up and carried on running across the field from officers. 

"Luckily, we had our police dog, Ghost, and his handler at the ready who found one of the men hidden in a drain, whilst the others were caught by the RCAT team," said police.

The three men were then arrested for failing to comply with a community protection notice.

"Well done team and PD Ghost."
