VANDALS have destroyed a field where oil seed rape crop had been growing at Tunworth Down House.

Police believe that the suspects responsible were engaged in illegal hare coursing or the poaching of deer, both poaching offences.

The incident happened overnight between September 25 and September 26, when a vehicle drove through the field causing damage to the crops and the land.

Officers are asking if anyone was in the area and saw any vehicle which looked out of place to call 101 quoting 44160364852 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
