Police are appealing for witnesses after vandals broke into a Christmas tree business in Bushy Park - but Christmas is definitely not cancelled.

Park cleaners alerted police on November 22 after they discovered damaged metal fences surrounding the area in Diana Fountain car park which is rented by Pines and Needles.

Following a search, officers discovered a tree had been burned and numerous boxes of Christmas lights and decorations had also been stolen from the shed.

A worker at Pines and Needles reassured the public there were plenty of trees and decorations still to be had.

The incident happened between 4pm on Friday and 8am on Saturday, November 22.

Please call Bushy Park police on 101 or if you wish to remain anonymous Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 if you have any information.
