Police are appealing for information after someone deliberately drove at and killed ducks and geese on a road in Purbeck.
Dorset Police received a report at around 9.50pm on Wednesday (October 20) that a vehicle was seen travelling in East Creech Farm Road at speed.
It appeared to deliberately drive at a number of ducks and geese on the roadside.
Two geese and six ducks died as a result.
Police Constable Stuart Wilson, of Purbeck Police, said: “We are carrying out a number of enquiries into this incident, which appears to be a mindless act by the driver involved, and I am appealing to any witnesses or anyone who may have captured anything relevant on dashcam footage to please come forward.”
