In the UK, the police are about to resolve a mysterious case.
For more than a month she had been looking for a stranger who felled 50 to 60 trees without permission in the southern county of Surrey.
Now a 24-year-old has been taken into custody, reports the BBC.
The series of illegal clearing near the Thames was noticed on March 21, after several trees were cut over a distance of three kilometers.
There were not only traffic obstructions, among other things.
The destruction also caused concern because some of the trees had been planted in memory of lost relatives, reports the Guardian.
Many of the trees were also fully grown and several meters high.
It also appeared that the perpetrator acted indiscriminately.
Since then, the police have been increasingly patrolling the route.
In addition, more than 1000 people joined a Facebook group - the Elmbridge Tree Patrol - to catch the perpetrator, reports the BBC.
She also went on patrol at night to protect the trees.

In fact, information from local residents, including recordings from surveillance cameras, via a license plate, ultimately led to the man's arrest.
According to British media reports, a chainsaw and shavings were found in the van of the 24-year-old suspect, reports the BBC.
The motive for the acts is still unclear, it is said.
"We continue to put together the evidence that we have," the investigator in charge Bert Dean of "Sky News" is quoted as saying.
The suspect remains in custody, it is said.
