Specialist rural crime officers stopped the muddy vehicles in Upavon and Everleigh today (Sunday).

“Groups of 4x4s have come from outside of Wiltshire to use Salisbury Plain as a playground”, a spokesperson for Wiltshire Police said.

They added that “items found within some of these vehicles suggested that they may also be involved with hare coursing”.

All three vehicles did not have insurance and were seized as a result. It’s not clear if any arrests were made in connection with the incident.
