Police have hit out at 'sick-minded' deer and hare coursing gangs that kill wildlife for fun.
Gloucestershire police's rural crime team discovered a number of dead animals, believed to have been ran over, near Duntisbourne yesterday (Friday).
A Tweet stated: "Deer and hare coursing gangs don't just course with dogs.
"They also run down wildlife in vehicles just for "fun".
"No doubt pleasuring their sick minds."
