Badger baiting probe snares pair
Two men have been arrested in Northumberland following a joint police and RSPCA investigation into badger baiting in the county.

Two houses in Cramlington were raided early on Monday and a number of items connected with badger baiting seized.

The arrests are part of a six-month operation into badger baiting, which police say is on the increase.

The men are being held under the Wildlife and Countryside Act, which outlaws badger baiting.
