Rural engagement officers investigating reports of people firing catapults in Belfairs Park Wood, #LeighOnSea, are appealing for information. A man and two younger boys were said to be firing catapults on Saturday 11 January. Our #RuralEngagement Team swiftly attended and patrolled the woods, speaking to families and dog walkers there. Sergeant Paul Brady says: “Belfairs wood is well-used by people of all ages. The potential consequences of firing a catapult in this environment are unthinkable. We understand the concerns of those people who rang us to report this incident. “We’ve already been sent photographs of a squirrel that appears to have been killed by a catapult shot and we’re seeking to identify those responsible for this cruel crime. “We want to hear from anyone who was walking in the woods between 12.30 and 3pm on Saturday 11 January to contact us with information if you saw anything suspicious. “Most people want to enjoy the beautiful countryside our county has to offer but an irresponsible few want to cause pain and suffering to the wildlife it contains. “They view it as harmless fun but it is not. Cruelty to wildlife is illegal. “We need anyone who sees such activity to report it to us, either online via our website or by ringing 101 but, if it’s a crime in progress or there’s a danger to public safety, ring 999.” Witnesses or anyone with information about the incident in Belfairs Park Wood are asked to quote incident 465 of 11 January 2025 when contacting us, to enable your information to get quickly to the investigating officer.
