Council officials and detectives were left baffled by the series of tree fellings which started on 21 March in a two-mile stretch between Walton-on-Thames and Weybridge, both in Elmbridge, Surrey. About 50 to 60 trees were felled – many of them mature trees more than 20ft high. Anthony Cilia, a retired kitchen fitter from Weybridge, was among the first to spot the damage to the trees. He told MailOnline: “Why this person is doing it is beyond me.
