Some of Lilydale’s newly installed Christmas decorations have been destroyed in the last few days, after some decorations had already been damaged last week.

Wooden Christmas trees that had been made by the volunteer committee have been broken in pieces and left strewn all over Main Street.

The damaging of property was caught on CCTV footage and is with Lilydale police for further investigation.

Last week other decorations like the Grinch and some of the candles were stolen but returned by the CFA.

Unfortunately however, because the trees have been broken they cannot be repaired and will have to be replaced at the cost of the Lilydale Township Action Group.
