Arrests after badger sett inquiry
18 April 2007 - BBC News
Two men have been arrested on suspicion of interfering with a badger sett.
The arrests followed a tip-off to police that a badger sett had been damaged
in Dry Drayton, Cambridgeshire.
A 59-year-old man from Dry Drayton and a 62-year-old man from Hardwick were
arrested and bailed to return to a police station on 24 April.
Police officers issued an appeal for information last week after a number of
reports of disturbances and destruction of setts in the county.
Under the Protection of Badgers Act 1992 it is a criminal offence to
interfere with a sett and the charge carries a maximum prison sentence of six
months.
