Two Men Convicted of Night Poaching Near Oxted

Two men have been convicted of night poaching on Titsey Hill in Oxted.

Anas Abdulla Azizi and Sirwan Muhammad Salih pleaded guilty at Guildford Crown Court last week and were ordered to pay compensation. 

The two men were tracked by armed response officers and the National Police Air Service, as they tried to hide in woodlands on Christmas night last year.  Police seized an air rifle and a bag of dead pheasants.  A night vision video showing the moment they were tracked and arrested, has been released by Surrey Police.

The Police urge residents to call 999 if they believe a poaching offence is taking place.
