FOUR Welshmen caught poaching in a Wiltshire river have been fined and had their fishing gear confiscated. Swindon Magistrates’ Court heard Shane Lee, Tyrone Lee, Gary Price and Henry Price were caught by police near the River Kennet on July 8, 2020. The officers had been called out by the river keeper on the Eastridge Estate between Chilton Foliat and Ramsbury. Prosecutor Ben Worthington said: “He reports seeing a vehicle which he believes might have been involved in what he refers to as poaching. “Officers found the defendants have been doing some fishing in the river and where they were fishing is private. They didn’t have permission.”
