Reports allege that organised crime groups are moving into parts of the British countryside by intimidating farm owners to take part in illegal hare coursing. The coverage describes a pattern in which gangs pressure landowners to organise or allow events that are said to be unlawful, with the claims also including post-event disposal of animal carcasses in surrounding areas. The articles characterise the activity as “mob terror,” suggesting that intimidation and threats are used to control participants and maintain operations. They do not provide detailed, independently confirmed evidence in the excerpts provided, and the allegations are presented as the result of an investigation by the outlet. Based on the information supplied, the central claim across the reports is that criminal groups are leveraging farm access and coercion to stage illegal hare coursing, and that this activity involves broader intimidation beyond any single property. The reports focus on alleged behaviour and alleged methods, rather than naming specific groups or individuals in the material provided.
