Police seize car from a farmer's field in a Shropshire village amid investigation into 'wildlife offences'
A vehicle has been seized after it was found beached in a farmers field in Shropshire as three people and two dogs were spotted.
Officers from Shifnal and Albrighton Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) were out patrolling in rural areas last night (June 3) when they caught sight of the Silver Suzuki Vitara 4x4 in a farmers field off the A464.
The vehicle had been driving across crops and was suspected of being involved in "wildlife offences".
Three unknown persons with two dogs could be seen in the distance, also in the field, but fled when they became aware of police presence.
Police are appealing to the community for any information about the incident and people involved. The vehicle was seized.
