Eure: five young people suspected of poaching were arrested – (France 2)
The cold does not stop them, they hunt at night: five young people suspected of poaching deer and wild boars were arrested last month in Eure. They then resold the meat. Investigation.
The bloody stalking scenes left no trace. However, the Vexin plains have been the scene of an extraordinary poaching network. 3,500 hectares in the wilderness, where hundreds of animals were allegedly slaughtered by a few individuals. Several times a week, in the middle of the night, young hunters met there to shoot deer and wild boars completely illegally. Scenes similar to those observed by a hunter three years ago. But in Vexin, the soldiers would have unmasked the poachers.
A wave of arrests
On December 18, a wave of arrests took place. In the gendarmes’ net, 20,000 euros in cash, and a disproportionate number of weapons. Since then, five people have been indicted, poachers who allegedly improvised as butchers. The sale was made between neighbors or on Iinternet. In the Eure department, the five poachers risk four years of imprisonment and a fine of 60,000 euros.
