TWO men have been charged with hunting a wild animal with dogs.

Nicholas Harris, 43, of Violet Hill Road, Stowmarket, and Anthony Laflin, 50, of Crowley Court, Needham market, were charged following an incident in Stowmarket last year.

Laflin was also charged with possession of a knife.

Police stopped vehicles in Bury Road on October 23 and recovered the body of a dead fox.

The pair have been released on conditional bail and are due to appear before Bury Magistrates’ Court on March 15.
