STAFF at the Jed Forest Hunt have been charged with illegal hunting practices.
The move comes after the League Against Cruel Sports Scotland filmed the Jed Forest Hunt recently.
The footage appears to show huntsmen sending their hounds after fleeing foxes.
Last week a 23-year-old man and 65-year-old man were charged with breaching hunt regulations.
It is expected they will appear at Jedburgh Sheriff Court in May.
Robbie Marsland, director of League Against Cruel Sports Scotland said: “We applaud the police for acting so quickly to arrest and charge members of the Jed Forest Hunt."
The video was filmed by League Against Cruel Sports Scotland as part of a new investigation into Scotland’s hunts.
Throughout the 2015/16 hunting season six out of the ten Scottish hunts were covertly filmed by investigators.
From October 2015 to March 2016 the League Against Cruel Sports investigators covertly filmed six hunts in the Borders and Fife.
