‘Lives put at risk’ by hare coursing 4×4 convoy in Manea

Barclay, the Conservative MP for North East Cambridgeshire, said a public meeting at the Royal British Legion in Manea on Monday afternoon would give residents the chance to discuss their concerns with police.

“We need to ensure those responsible for these appalling crimes are robustly tracked down and prosecuted, and lessons are learnt from what happened,” he said.

“It is clear this was organised criminals trying to hide their identity and they will do it again if not found.”

Cambridgeshire Police said no arrests had been made and appealed for information, dashcam footage or CCTV.

“Up to 25 vehicles were seen, some in convoy, in various parts of the county,” a spokesperson said.

“These included Fordham, Ely, Prickwillow, Littleport, Welney, Chatteris, Manea, Wimblington and Doddington.

“We understand the impact this has had on the community and we are investigating.”
