AN INVESTIGATION has been launched after the bodies of several animals were found in Warren Heath, Hartley Wintney, on Wednesday, July 26.
The bodies of two badgers, a deer and several hares were found within a patch of bracken on Warren Heath.
Police are appealing for witnesses following the incident, where it is believed the animals were killed elsewhere and dumped at the heath during the week before they were found.
PC Vincent Lane, of Hampshire Constabulary’s Country Watch team, said: “This area is popular with dog walkers, horse riders and cyclists, so I would like to hear from anyone who has been there recently and saw anything suspicious.”
Anyone with information should call 101, quoting 44170287336.
Alternatively, people can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, where information can be left anonymously.
