Police are investigating reports of deer poaching around Dunnikier Park golf course in Kirkcaldy.
The incidents were reported on Wednesday April 5 when parts from three deer carcasses were discovered in the area.
Fife’s wildlife liaison officer PC Lindsay Kerr said: “Deer are a protected species and the methods used by poachers, including snares and even crossbows, can cause significant and unneccessary suffering to these animals.
“These remains were very disturbing for the people who discovered them and we’re urging anyone who may have seen suspicious activity in the area recently to come forward.”
If you have any information which may be able to help contact PC Lindsay Kerr via 101 or report this anonymously to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
