Poaching
Poaching activity on the River Darent continues to be an issue and members are reminded of the recommended course of action...
Kent Police now have a unit specifically dedicated to rural affairs and the team - comprising six specialist officers - are all trained to deal with Wild Life Crime. The team is subdivided into three groups of two, each covering a region of Kent.
Our local officer is PC Nick Lingham and he may be contacted on 07817956427 or at nick.lingham@kent.pnn.police.uk
It is very important that you report all poaching incidents that you witness. DO NOT APPROACH THE POACHER. Call the Police immediately through PC Lingham as above. When you get home please advise Mick Lee so he can make a more formal contact with Kent Police and with the EA.
Please....Do not put yourself at risk
