The alleged incident is said to have taken place in Nunnington, North Yorkshire, at about 13:15 BST on 25 October.

It is a criminal offence to destroy, cause damage to or obstruct access to a badger sett.

North Yorkshire Police has appealed for anyone who recognises any of the men to get in touch.
