A Devon terrierman faces prosecution under the Badgers Act over allegations he interfered with a sett.

Andrew Bellamy will appear in front of magistrates in Newton Abbot on September 14.

The prosecution follows a monitoring operation undertaken by the League Against Cruel Sports (LACS).

Investigators from the animal welfare group were monitoring the South Devon Foxhounds on April 7.

Mr Bellamy has been bailed to appear before South Devon Magistrates' Court.
