POLICE caught three men with a dead deer in their van during an anti-poaching operation.
Officers arrested the trio on suspicion of hunting with dogs after they were found driving across Cannock Chase late at night.
They had the carcasses of a fallow deer and a rabbit in their vehicle, along with four lurcher dogs.
James Harvey, Kyle Rodgers and James Morgan, all from Stoke-on-Trent, received fines after admitting two counts of illegally hunting with dogs at Stafford Magistrates’ Court yesterday.
