Police force given headcollars to help catch loose horses in forward-thinking move

Officers from a rural crime police unit will now carry donated headcollars and leadropes following 130 incidents of loose horses in the past 12 months.

Lincolnshire Police has placed the equipment in stations across the county, and in every rural crime team response vehicle. The 20 headcollars and leadropes were donated by Cobbs Country Store to Bransby Horses, but as the charity often helps the police with loose horses, Bransby donated them to the force.

The headcollars are fitted with QR codes...
