While most were asleep on Christmas Day, Surrey Police officers were busy apprehending two armed poachers on Titsey Hill in Oxted. Just before midnight on December 25th, a man was seen moving stealthily through the woods carrying a large sack. However, this wasn’t Father Christmas running late with gifts. Accompanying the man was a second individual armed with a firearm.
