Now over the weekend, police say 20 more have been vandalised.

Constable Mick Sturland, of Market Drayton's safer neighbourhood team, said: "A further 20 trees were damaged in the town park over the weekend.

"Clearly, whoever has done this thinks it's funny and has no concept of responsibility.

"Both this act and the previous one are criminal offences and we will pursue anyone identified as responsible in partnership with the Town Council.

"Market Drayton is a small town and therefore someone will know something about the offences."

More than £200 has been raised in order to replace the trees.

Geoff Sherry, from River Bank Books, said their target of raising £200 was achieved in just five days.
