Two men charged in connection with vandalising Scarborough's town centre Christmas tree last year
Two men from Scarborough have been charged with criminal damage after an incident in the town centre last year.
In the early hours of November 8 2019, the town's Christmas tree which was outside the Brunswick Centre was pulled down.
The six-metre-high metal structure had been a key part of the Countdown to Christmas event and the annual Christmas light switch on was due to take place that evening.
It was later replaced with a smaller, real tree.
The two men, 20 and 29, due to appear at Scarborough Magistrates Court next month.
