TREE VANDAL ON THE LOOSE

Cessnock City Council is on the hunt for the vandal responsible for a very odd attack.

Three recently planted Crepe Myrtle trees have been mown down by a vehicle near Jeffrey Park.

The trees were planted as part of a beautification project in the town of Kearsley.

Extra security measures, worth more than a thousand dollars will now be implemented.

Cessnock Mayor Bob Pynsent says he’s disgusted by the destructive behaviour.
