Vandals hit school trees
About 30 trees planted within the verges surrounding Ridge View Secondary College in Baldivis have been vandalised causing an estimated $15,000 damage.
The trees, most of which had only been planted 12 months ago, were targeted between 5pm last Thursday and 9am on Friday.
In a Facebook post Baldivis MLA Reece Whitby described the act as “mindless vandalism”.
“As a new suburb, we need trees and an increased urban canopy in Baldivis,” he wrote.
“Which is why this makes our community so angry.”
Anyone with information is asked to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
