The thoughts of Chairman Jon It goes with out saying that the 'main users of the Hampshire Constabulary's services' are still well and truly active. Make it difficult for them. Mark your property. Stand back and look at your premises and think how would you get in. Have a wander around your property, yards, premises and think what could I easily take away? Please call Tanya Thompson, Crime Prevention Officer at Winchester if you want advice. I am currently in the process of trying to get large signs made up that will be supplied to all members to put on your properties. Sometimes that is enough to put them off. A couple of apologies You may recall that I recently sent out a sheet on the law in relation to poaching and associated offences. It was pointed out to me that it was a little bit out of date in relation to the Game Licences. I will amend it and re-transmit. That'll teach me not to proof read!

I have found this document that may be of interest. It covers most offences relating to poaching, but hopefully will give you a guide as to what we want as evidence when dealing with incidents of this sort. You will see sections that refer to 'authorised persons' and what they can do legally. I can only stress again that I want witnesses who can tell me what they saw and heard. I don't want people getting injured!!!! If there is anything that you want clarifying, give me a call. Jon Radcliffe, P.C 24208 Countryside and Wildlife Crime Officer Meon Valley Police Station Poaching Introduction Specific provisions relating to the poaching of deer, fish and game are described below, but it is also worth bearing in mind that other legislation may be used. Examples include: Theft Act 1968. Consider theft where the bird, animal or fish is taken unlawfully from an enclosed environment. E.g. fish in a stew pond or breeding tank, birds and eggs from a breeding pen, deer from a park or farm. The Act will also apply to farm implements and crops; Firearms Act 1968. Use of firearm contrary to certificate conditions; trespass with a firearm (section 20) to enter or be on any land or building as a trespasser whilst in possession of a firearm without reasonable excuse. Section 19 without lawful authority or reasonable excuse to have a loaded shotgun or loaded air weapon, or any other firearm loaded or not together with suitable ammunition, in a public place; ........... http://www.network54.com/Forum/251469/thread/1267900650/last-1267900650/Winchester+Countrywatch+-+Advice+about+Poaching A4814ED6-4E2F-47CD-9FE3-F83D813CB369 Sat, 6 Mar 2010 19:24:00 +0000 In relation to the theft of the cattle crush from Old Alresford a couple of days ago.

The counterfeiters are using well known brand names including Granstar, Harmony, Score, Reglone, Gaucho, Prestige, Raxil & Nurelle. The chemicals are being distributed throughout Europe including the UK as genuine products; they are untested, unsafe and potentially hazardous causing health risks to farmers applying or storing these chemicals. Do not purchase other than from your usual regular reputable sources and if in doubt contact the manufacturer directly to verify the source.

Make it easier for the eye in the sky! This may be a good idea for those of you with horse trailers, horse lorrys or other large items of machinery with a flat roof.

Can I ask that everyone remains vigilant and to report anything you deem to be suspicious, no matter how trivial it may seem, it could be the missing link in helping us solve a crime or series of crimes? If you see a crime in process please call 999 and relay as much information as possible to the call taker, stay on the line if it you can, but do not put yourself in any danger. If you see a non-urgent matter please call on 0845 045 45 45. I can be contacted on my mobile - 07776 172310 - but not in the first instance to report crime, it is important you call via control room as I may be off duty. Many thanks for your support.
