RYDE residents woke up this morning (Friday) to see newly-planted trees outside their homes had been vandalised.

Multiple trees had been cut down at Mayfield Road and Pellhurst Road.

The incident is believed to have taken place after 9.30pm yesterday evening.

The trees, which were only planted within the last year, appeared to be damaged beyond repair.

One resident said he had reported the vandalism to Island Roads.
