Trespass is not a criminal offence as others have said so it would be up to the old gits to go to the trouble of bringing a private prosecution under civil law, and then they would have to prove you c

TRESPASS on its own is NOT a CRIMINAL offence, It's a CIVIL MATTER. Therefore the police cannot bring the matter to a criminal court. Trespass can be a factor in other crimes, i.e. if you were carryin

TRESPASS on its own is NOT a CRIMINAL offence, It's a CIVIL MATTER. Therefore the police cannot bring the matter to a criminal court. Trespass can be a factor in other crimes, i.e. if you were carrying a gun, (armed trespass), intending to commit an act of theft, damage, or threats to kill, (burglary) etc, etc. The landowner (not the shooters) in this case could possibly take the matter to a civil court, but this is highly unlikely due to the high costs for little gained.

DO NOT worry about it.

Trespass is a civil,not criminal offence,are they saying you committed any criminal damage whilst on their property? As that is the only criminal offence you could be charged with, this sounds very odd to me indeed,as others have stated wait for the summons,which I suspect may never arrive, and speak to a field sports savvy lawyer, are you in any shooting/field sports organisations IE BASC or Countryside alliance? As they will provide advice.
