A BADGER has been killed in a 'home-made' snare near Abergele.
North Wales Police's Rural Crime Team is investigating the incident which took place in a field near the Tan y Marian estate in Llanddulas on Wednesday.
Snares usually involve a large loop that catches an animal round the body.
Police said the illegal trap would have endangered any animal that would have come across it.
