POLICE officers from Barnsley North followed up recent reports of illegal lamping on Staincross Common.
Lamping is the offence of using lights in pitch darkness to startle animals before shooting them or using dogs to chase them.
On Saturday, patrols focused on Staincross Common but nothing raised any concerns.
Patrols are now focussed around Darton, Mapplewell and Kexborough while other members of the policing team will be in Old Town and St Helen’s wards.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
