Teen charged with alleged vandalism after row of trees snapped in park

A teenager has been charged after a number of blossom trees in a Glasgow park were snapped.

The blossom trees were planted this year by Scottish Water as part of restoration work following the installation of new mains pipes through Bellahouston Park in the South Side of Glasgow.

Police have now confirmed a 17-year-old boy has been charged with alleged vandalism in connection with the incident.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 3.20pm on Monday, October 24, officers were made aware of an incident of vandalism in Bellahouston Park, Glasgow involving a number of blossom trees.

“A 17-year-old male youth has been charged in connection with the incident and a report has been sent to the Procurator Fiscal.”
