00:00I never thought that I'd be in a position like I am today,

00:21talking about criminal damage, because that is what it is.

00:27But it's something that has split the communities, an opinion.

00:35It's part of the fabric of our communities, Grand Old Sycamore fell.

00:39We thought someone was playing tricks on us and then we saw the news.

00:43Absolutely gobsmacked.

00:45Did I realise how much hurt it caused around the North East?

00:47At the end of the day, it's a tree.

00:49It wasn't just a tree.

00:50This is a shared grief.

00:53Who in the right mind would do this?

00:55You're talking about psychopaths.

00:57There was a lot of finger pointing.

00:59I think it was Bob who lives down the road.

01:02I think it was him.

01:03I think it was him.

01:05I've got a possible suspect which I'll pass on here.

01:07I've got no evidence.

01:08They shared a meme about putting a tree down with a butter knife.

01:11People do stupid things, don't they?

01:12For stupid reasons.

01:14It was one of the most photographed trees.

01:16It's on the fucking sky news.

01:19I think it's going to go wild.

01:20I'm going to arrest you on suspicion of criminal damage, OK?

01:26That's the thing I've got to do, mate.

01:28I did not trim to that fucking tree.

01:30You've found a tree before?

01:31No, not to my memory, like.

01:34Someone said, there's a video.

01:38And that was the sound of a chainsaw.

01:40If you had a chance to talk to them for yourself, what would you say to them?

01:50I mean, is this after the watershed?

01:56You just want to know why.
