Trees chopped down by vandals at another Peterborough park
The yobs struck at Glinton Recreation Ground on Tuesday night, damaging five of the young trees.
The incident follows similar incidents at Ferry Meadows Park and the Werrington/Walton Rec earlier this month.

“I was gobsmacked. I could not believe what I was seeing. Its a children’s play area. We have had to get a contractor to clear the mess away, as we don’t want to leave sharp bits of the trees.
“If it hadn’t been for the use of the saw I would have thought it was children - but it is obviously premeditated.”
Mr Haste said a decision would be made soon as to whether the trees would be replaced.
