THE fence around Durham’s Christmas tree has been vandalised for a second time in weeks.

Police believe the damage was done by someone who tried to climb the tree, in Durham Market Place.

The incident happened between 10pm on Thursday, December 5, and 8am on Friday, December 6.

No-one has been arrested and there are no suspects.

The fence was first damaged shortly after it was erected in late November.

Anyone with information on the latest incident is asked to call Durham Police on 101 and ask for PC Brown at Durham City police station.
