Police give update on Sycamore Gap tree
Northumbria police this morning have given an update on the Sycamore Gap tree…
Officers investigating the vandalism of an iconic Northumberland tree have shared an update – as three men remain on police bail.
An investigation was launched after the Sycamore Gap tree was felled overnight between September 27 and 28 in what police believe was a deliberate act of vandalism.
A range of enquiries have been ongoing ever since, with the support of partners, as our officers work to ascertain the full circumstances surrounding the damage and identify anyone involved.
Two men in their 30s, and one man in his 60s, who were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage remain on police bail.
A teenage boy who was initially arrested in connection with the report and bailed will now face no further action by police.
Our investigation continues, and we remain committed to establishing the full circumstances surrounding the damage, and in bringing any offenders to justice.
As always, we continue to welcome any new information from the public that could assist us in getting answers.
Your support could prove vital to our enquiries, no matter how small the detail may seem.
This remains a live investigation so, for that reason, please continue to avoid any speculation both in the community and online – including on social media.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police via the ‘Tell Us Something’ page of our website or by calling 101 quoting log NP-20230928-0295.
Alternatively, you can speak to independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously by calling 0800 555 111.
