Yesterday, our head of intelligence attended a roundtable at the UK Home Office to discuss catapult crime.
The meeting brought together key stakeholders to examine the impact of catapult-related offences and explore opportunities for stronger enforcement and prevention measures.
Our Head of Intelligence also chairs Operation Lakeshot, a multi-agency initiative focused on tackling catapult crime and protecting wildlife from this form of abuse.
Through Operation Lakeshot and our wider monitoring work, we are seeing an increasing number of incidents involving catapult crime being shared and discussed on social media, highlighting the need for continued action to tackle this form of wildlife persecution.
