Read more from ITV News Anglia s Hannah Pettifer on her time filming with Suffolk Constabulary s rural crime team:
In February last year I was invited to film with Suffolk Constabulary s rural crime team. They are a small team of just three officers covering the whole of Suffolk for crimes such as agricultural theft, livestock theft and hare coursing. The shift we join them on, they are looking for hare coursers.
