Four arrests made at ‘illegal hunt’

FOUR people were arrested and five dogs were seized after police disturbed a suspected illegal hunt in North Yorkshire.

Officers also seized a car following the discovery at Salton, near Pickering, yesterday morning. Four people were arrested on suspicion of hunting with dogs and police said they hoped it would send out a clear message to others.

The force took to social networking website Twitter and said: “Seized.... For hunting with dogs. Five dogs also seized. Hopefully this will send out a clear message.”
