A woman said she was "chuffed" after three boys who stole her trees from her garden came back to apologise. Charlotte, a resident of the Broxtowe estate, was disappointed to find her freshly planted conifers missing at around around 5.36pm on Monday (October 17).
CCTV footage has shown a group of three boys uprooting her three conifers from her garden, then walking off from the property located just off Coleby Road. She had previously spoken to Nottinghamshire Live on Wednesday morning (October 19), voicing her anger about the incident.
Later that day she had an unexpected visit from the group and their dad, who apologised and re-planted the conifers. "Their dad knocked on my door. I did not see the boys initially, they were busy planting the trees.
"The dad was shocked, he did not know anything about it. I thanked the boys for making the right choice and for being brave enough to come back and plant the trees."
She added: "I am really chuffed. The trees just need some water and care and they will be all right.
"The dad did not know anything about it. Apparently, they took the trees to their grandad and no one knew anything about it.
"I think it is brilliant - it is just amazing. I am very happy with their apology and I hope that they learned their lesson.
"I told them that one day they could just risk going to prison for something as small as this. I now have their dad's permission to call the police if I ever see them in my garden again."
