Three men arrested for hare coursing and assaulting one of the Queen's gamekeepers at will not be prosecuted, MailOnline has learned. Norfolk Police revealed in September how the gamekeeper spotted the gang chasing hares with dogs on fields at Flitcham on Her Majesty's Sandringham estate. The gamekeeper was allegedly pelted with stones and suffered minor injuries when he tried to intervene and the men fled with their dogs in a green Subaru car. Police later tried to pull over a car matching the description after it was seen nearby, but it failed to stop. Legal hare shoots traditionally take place at Sandringham on the first two weekends of February after the end of the pheasant shooting season.
