Possible ‘blast fishing’ on a stretch of the Thames near Sandford-on-Thames is currently being investigated by Thames Valley Police.

Earlier this week reports of a man using sticks of explosive to kill fish in the area were posted on the Reading and District Angling Facebook page.

The Environment Agency confirmed it had been notified and the issue has been passed to Thames Valley Police.

Police spokesman Gavin Ford-Lloyd said: “Thames Valley Police is currently investigating an alleged incident, after being made aware by a member of the public and one of our partner agencies.”
