Police have issued a warning to dog owners following reports of hare coursing and livestock worrying.
PC Kamalee and PC Wheeler were out patrolling around Thame and Stokenchurch following the recent reports.
In a statement issued on Tuesday afternoon, the Thames Valley Rural Crime Taskforce said: "Please make sure your dogs are on a leash near to livestock.
"Report any incidents via 101, online or 999 if in progress."

In hare coursing, dogs such as sighthounds and their cross breeds such as greyhounds and whippets, are set upon hares.
The dogs are actively encouraged to chase down the hares and attack them.
Last month reports were made to police of hare coursing taking place in Steventon near Abingdon.
The force used a drone to search the fields but no offenders or damage was found.
