POLICE are appealing for
information after the nest of a rare bird-of-prey was disturbed.
Police said that disturbance
to an adult goshawk nest near Helmsley was
caused on a number of occasions in Spring last year, and shots were heard fired
on two occasions.
"It is not known if any
birds were shot, however the nesting attempt failed and this may have been a
result of the repeated disturbance at the site," police said.
A number of technical enquiries
are now underway by North Yorkshire Police’s specialist Wildlife Crime
Officers, and one suspect has been interviewed under caution in connection with
the incident.
Police are now asking the public
for assistance to identify two men who may have important information that
could assist the investigation.
Anyone who recognises either of
the men pictured above, or has any information about the incident, is asked to
contact North Yorkshire Police on 101, quoting reference number 12170103211 or
email jeremy.walmsley@northyorkshire.pnn.police.uk.
