THE senseless destruction of the Sycamore Gap tree has resulted in an outpouring of shock, horror and anger.<\/p>\n

The 300-year-old tree in Northumberland was cut down overnight on September 27 in what detectives called a "deliberate act of vandalism".<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

It was made famous in a key scene in Kevin Costner's 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves and was among the UK's most photographed trees.<\/p>\n

The felling also caused damage to Hadrian's Wall, one of Britain's best-known UNESCO world heritage sites.<\/p>\n

Why anyone would want to cut down one of England's most iconic trees has left people across the UK baffled.<\/p>\n

Northumbria\u00a0Police\u00a0confirmed they are keeping an "open mind" as the investigation continues.<\/p>\n

Walter Renwick<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Walter Renwick is a former\u00a0lumberjack\u00a0who lives eight miles from where\u00a0the UK's most famous tree\u00a0had proudly stood.<\/p>\n

On September 29, Renwick was arrested after the iconic\u00a0tree was chopped down.<\/p>\n

Police descended on Renwick's farm\u00a0in\u00a0Northumberland, close to the scene of the\u00a0crime.<\/p>\n

They conducted a two-day search of the isolated plot where\u00a0they\u00a0found a chainsaw\u00a0in an outbuilding.<\/p>\n

It was added to dozens more evidence bags taken from the former campsite.<\/p>\n

But the 69-year-old,\u00a0who has been released on bail, insists he's "f***ing innocent".<\/p>\n

He told The Sun: "I'm a former lumberjack and I've just been kicked off my property so I can see why people have pointed the finger.<\/p>\n

"I didn't do it".<\/p>\n

And he later added: "Trees have their own DNA\u00a0and you can use the dust to track down which tree was felled, so it'll be easy to find who did it.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

"It was the perfect night to do it.<\/p>\n

"There was a\u00a0full moon\u00a0so it would have been well lit and the wind would have meant there was barely any sound."<\/p>\n

Renwick is understood to have been evicted by the property's owners and is now living in a nearby camper van.<\/p>\n

A 16-year-old boy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Cops were quick to arrest\u00a0a 16-year-old boy after the\u00a0tree was found felled\u00a0early on September 28.<\/p>\n

The teen was arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage.<\/p>\n

He was released on bail while police continued probing the alleged\u00a0crime.<\/p>\n

Det Chief Insp Rebecca Fenney-Menzies of\u00a0Northumbria Police\u00a0said: "The senseless destruction of what is undoubtedly a world-renowned landmark \u2013 and a local treasure \u2013 has quite rightly resulted in an outpour shock, horror and anger throughout the North East and further afield.<\/p>\n

"This investigation is still in the early stages, and we would continue to encourage any members of the public with information which may assist to get in touch. <\/p>\n

"If you've seen or heard anything suspicious that may be of interest to us \u2013 I\u2019d implore you to contact us.<\/p>\n

"I'd also like to remind the public that this remains a live investigation so, for that reason, please avoid any speculation both in the community and on social media. <\/p>\n
