A police CCTV van will be deployed to a park in Nottingham in response to a spree of "heartbreaking" plant thefts.

The Arboretum, in the city centre, has been affected by an increase in anti-social behaviour, according to Nottingham City Council.

This includes the theft of 180 plants across two occasions during the past two months.

Jane Barton, from the authority, said: "It's mindless and it's sad. Why spoil the beauty of what is an amazing green space":[]}
