Eight men have been summonsed to court for offences related to hare coursing, Lincolnshire Police said.

The force received reports of several vehicles being involved in hare coursing and driving dangerously across the mid, south and east of the county on 2 December last year.

It led to four men from Cambridgeshire, aged 22-25, being arrested near Sleaford and a further four arrested after an incident at Eastville, near Spilsby.

They are due to appear at Boston Magistrates' Court on 11 June.
