Christmas tree damaged

Riverton’s community Christmas tree had been up for less than 24 hours when it was vandalised this week. Wires to the lights on the tree were cut, and decorative bulbs pulled off. Close to the tree was Santa’s mailbox that was also damaged and then taken from the area. It was found on a road in Wallacetown yesterday. The Christmas tree project team organiser Tanya Colyer said the damage was done about 1.50am-2am on Monday. Police were investigating and footage from CCTV systems showed a woman and four men were involved, Colyer said. The damage this week is the fourth time it had been vandalised.
