Police have ramped up patrols and are urging landowners to consider stepping up their security measures. Officers have identified a black Subaru estate they believe was linked to a number of dead hares found dumped at a petrol station in Verwood. It is thought this incident could be linked to activity on farm land in the Tarrant Valley area. Dorset Police said a number of incidents have occurred around the A354, generally involving offenders entering at night and driving on private land. The force said this has caused significant damage to crops, including on the night of Wednesday, May 19, and between 12pm on Friday, May 21, and 8am on Saturday May 22.
