APPEAL FOR WITNESSES TO DOLPHIN INCIDENT

We are sure you are all aware by now of the dolphin harassment incident at Padstow on Saturday 20th July. We are appealing for witnesses to the incident to call the police wildlife crimes team on 101. We especially want to hear from you if you have VIDEO FOOTAGE. This is critical when it comes to viewing the behaviour of the animals so an expert witness can tell us how they are being harassed.
 
There has been a lot of comments on social media about this incident including some from possible witnesses. We would appeal to those people to also call the police. Some of the comments have been very negative about the police, so may we take this opportunity to assure you we will be investigating this crime thoroughly with a view to prosecuting any offenders identified.
