'Absolutely sickening': 20 Christmas trees stolen in Knaresborough
A trader who runs a business group in Knaresborough has said she is "absolutely sickened" after about 20 Christmas trees were stolen.
Natalie Horner, co-founder of Knaresborough Business Collective, organises the annual distribution of Christmas trees to shops in Knaresborough. The trees make the town more festive and any left over are given to charity.
The trees had been delivered and were in the process of being sent out this week when burglars struck last night.
In a social media post this morning Ms Horner, whose own commercial printing business Sid Horner and Son was burgled six days earlier, said:
The post said the criminals had also broken festoon lights, adding:

Several scarecrows that formed part of a half-term trail for children to enjoy last month were vandalised.
