According to: https://www.gov.uk/great-crested-newts-protection-surveys-and-licences

You’re breaking the law if you:

•capture, kill, disturb or injure great crested newts (on purpose or by not taking enough care)
•damage or destroy a breeding or resting place (even accidentally)
•obstruct access to their resting or sheltering places (on purpose or by not taking enough care)
•possess, sell, control or transport live or dead newts, or parts of them
•take great crested newt eggs

If you’re found guilty of an offence you could be sent to prison for up to 6 months and be fined £5,000 for each offence.


(Above is for Great Cresteds - dunno about other types)
