A hare courser who caused damage to wheat and crops on a farm in Benwick last month is now £2,505 out of pocket. Craig Rooks, who had a previous conviction for coursing, admitted causing criminal damage when he appeared before Cambridge Magistrates on Thursday. The 56-year-old from West Yorkshire was fined £2,500 and ordered to pay £500 compensation to the farmer. He was arrested by the Rural Crime and Action Team (RCAT).
