On Thursday 11 June 2015, Operation LEVIATHAN was launched at West Mercia Police Headquarters – the biggest initiative ever to target illegal fishing and fish theft.
LEVIATHAN, like the existing Operation TRAVERSE in Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire, is the second major multi-force, multi-agency crack down initiated by the Angling Trust – involving West Mercia (Herefordshire, Shropshire and Worcestershire), Warwickshire, Cheshire, Gloucestershire, West Midlands, Gwent, Dyfed-Powys and South Wales Police, in addition to the Environment Agency, National Resources Wales, Fish Legal and Cefas.
