All of the 80 newly-planted Laurel trees, which lined the boundary to the estate, were uprooted and stolen. Police Sergeant James Rowe, of Dorchester police, said: “I am appealing to the public to help with our investigation into who the offenders might be.



“Any witnesses and people who may have information regarding the theft are urged to contact Dorset Police.” No arrests have been made. Witnesses and anyone with information should call Dorset Police in confidence.
