Don't know if they are the same group of people but we were told (by CID) that 2 irish men where drugging horses during the afternoon (with Sedalin) and returning in the evening to take them.
Hamsterley was one known location but they are thought to be operating all over the north east.

There is just no end to the depths these scumbags go to is there? Don't know why, but this has really shocked me reading this.

Will have a word with a lady at our yard (she is the source - CID). I assume it had already been reported as it came from the police but could be wrong!
