West Mercia Police - Wellington North Neighbourhood

West Mercia Police Information

West Mercia is the fourth largest geographic police area in England and Wales. The force area is divided into five territorial policing areas, which match the boundaries of our local authorities.

While West Mercia is predominantly rural, it also contains some densely populated urban areas and many market towns. To ensure we strike the right balance between addressing national and local policing priorities, the force focuses its activities on three priority areas:

  • Serving
  • Protecting the public
  • Making the difference

On Friday - 17 June 2016 - a badly injured swan was found in Tee Lake, Wellington and it was taken to a wildlife sanctuary for treatment.

On Tuesday morning - 21 June 2016 - a headless dead cygnet was found by the side of Tee Lake . A spokesperson for the Dothill Local Nature Reserve said that they believed that the cygnet had been deliberately injured and that several other cygnets and ducklings may have gone missing from Tee Lake and Dothill Pool, within the previous week.

As native wild birds, swans have statutory protection under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and it is an offence to intentionally injure, take or kill a wild swan. It is also an offence to take or possess the egg of a wild mute swan, or to damage or destroy the nest of a mute swan whilst in use, or being built.

If anyone has witnessed any cruelty towards swans or any other wildlife, please call West Mercia Police on 101, quoting incident number  0307S of 17 June 2016.

If you find an injured swan, please contact the RSPCA on 0300 1234 999. Do not approach the swan, as this could lead to further injury and distress for the bird and you may injure yourself.
