Witshire Police have arrested two further people on suspicion of wildlife offences.
A man and a woman, both aged 25, were arrested yesterday morning (14th Feb) on suspicion of hunting a wild mammal with dogs, interfering with badger setts and causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal.
The two suspects have been released on conditional bail pending further enquiries after being questioned over the matter.
This latest development follows the arrest of three men on Friday (10/02) on suspicion of the same charges related to video footage showing wildlife offences being committed.
These three have subsequently been released on conditional bail.
Chief inspector James Brain said: “Our investigation into the circumstances of this concerning video footage is ongoing, and we are actively pursuing a number of lines of enquiry.
“We continue to appeal for anyone with information that might help our investigation to contact us.
"If you can help, please call us on 101 quoting log 54230014294"
