Police appealed for information after a rare white stag was shot dead with a high velocity rifle in Cobham Woods, Kent. Another deer was killed in January this year, both animals having suffered gunshot wounds to the face. A police spokesperson said, “The manner in which they were shot would have caused a significant amount of suffering to the animals and the use of a powerful firearm in a location accessible to the public presents a high risk to any other person in the area.”

The gun room had a single bolt and the garage lock did not work properly.
