Vandals cause thousands of pounds of damage to Christmas tree and lights in Carlton and Arnold.
Gedling Borough Council is appealing to anyone who may have seen damage caused to the Christmas tree and lights in Carlton and Arnold on Friday evening. Christmas lights were pulled down on Carlton Square and Carlton Hill causing an estimated £3,500 of damage.
The main Christmas tree in Carlton Square was also badly damaged with branches broken from the middle section of the tree.
Separately, a board outside Sainsbury’s Arnold wishing people a Merry Christmas has also been destroyed by vandals and lights were also damaged.
If anyone saw anything they need to contact the Police on 101.
Leader of Gedling Borough Council, Councillor John Clarke said: “These are appalling acts of vandalism and we are asking anyone who may have seen anything to let the Police know.
“To do this kind of damage to Christmas trees and lights which are for the residents to enjoy is absolutely terrible and we will do everything we can to catch the people that did this.”
