Three drivers who have been using Salisbury Plain as ‘playground’ have had their cars seized.

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.

We continue to work alongside Landmarc, the Defence Infrastructure Organisation and local Neighbourhood teams from Amesbury Police and Devizes Police to tackle rural and anti-social crime in this area”, spokesperson continued.
