Stolen 6-Foot Christmas Tree Found After Doorbell Video Captures Porch Theft

A Facebook tip led the owner to retrieve it from a nearby park.

Overview

  • Ring doorbell footage recorded a hooded figure removing the 6ft tree from Zoe Murray’s porch in Loughborough at about 8:26pm on 26 November.
  • Murray noticed the tree was missing later that night after leaving to collect her daughter and checked the video upon returning home.
  • After her daughter shared the clip on Facebook, a local resident reported seeing the tree dumped in a nearby park, where Murray recovered it with her grandson the next day.
  • Most of the decorations and the lights were found broken, and the tree has not been rehung outside.
  • Leicestershire Police were notified of the theft, and no arrests have been reported as the inquiry continues.
