SOUTH Warwickshire Police have seized an untaxed van while carrying out poacher patrols near Darlingscott.

Shipston police continue to patrol the district to combat poaching and the van seized had been untaxed since mid-2015.

They are urging members of the farming community to contact them with details of any suspicious vehicles or people in the area so they can build a pattern of the problems and focus efforts where they are needed most.
