HUNT SUSPECTS RELEASED FOR THREE WEEKS

Isle of Wight News

Four men arrested on suspicion of hunting a wild mammal with dogs have been released on bail without charge by police.

The suspects were questioned at Ryde Police Station after being detained on Thursday morning. Officers are investigating what they describe as an ‘incident’ at Shepherds Chine on the south-west coast of the Island in November last year.

The Countryside Alliance has criticised the arrests as “clumsy and unnecessary.” A 41-year-old from Ryde, a 61-year-old and a 36-year-old from Newport and a 36-year-old from Ventnor are due to report back to police on 24 May.
