ELY magistrates confiscated the car of a man convicted of illegal hare coursing this week.
Patrick Ward was also banned from driving for a year, and fined �1,000.
Ward, 49, of Bedworth, Coventry, had denied daytime trespass in pursuit of game at Orwell Pit Farm, Little Downham, but was found guilty after a trial.
Prosecutor Penny Cannon said Ward was seen at the farm with three other people and three dogs on January 16; one of the dogs had been seen chasing game.

The court ordered Ward to pay �620 costs and a �15 surcharge.
