A number of newly-planted trees at Mtarfa have been stolen and several plants along the main street there have been vandalised, the Resources Ministry said in a statement this afternoon.

In condemning the theft and the vandalism, the ministry said this was the latest in a series of vandalism made following embellishment projects.

The ministry also condemned the theft of street Christmas decorations, which included the theft of a model of baby Jesus near Floriana roundabout.
