Vandals Break into Trump’s Bronx Golf Course and Hack Down Trees

NEW YORK — (CNN) Vandals broke into a Trump-run golf course in New York and cut down four trees with a chainsaw, police said.

Police suspect two people were involved in the act.

NYPD Detective Martin Speechley told CNN the pair scaled a metal fence to enter the Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point in the Bronx sometime Tuesday night.

Police have found the chainsaw, but are still looking for the culprits.

Speechley said a Trump employee found four fallen trees, each about 30 feet tall, toward the back of the golf course.

The golf course opened in 2015, and is technically public and owned by New York City, but operated by Trump.

If the suspects are found and arrested, they could be charged with felony criminal mischief.
