Authorities in England have arrested a 16-year-old boy after one of the most famous trees in the world was cut down overnight Thursday.

The "Sycamore Gap tree," also sometimes known as the "Robin Hood tree," was found deliberately cut down early Thursday, according to officials.

The tree is sometimes called the "Robin Hood tree" because it was featured prominently in the Kevin Costner-led film "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves," released in 1991.

If a 16 year old kid leaves a clean fell like that, he may be going places.

He needed to leave a little more holding wood but he can learn.

What a little shite.

Probably for social media clout or a TikTok challenge.

I mean, if nothing else, it was a pretty clean cut for 16yo.

I wouldn’t lose sleep if they put him away for a year or two and then in the middle of letting him leave, turning him around and giving him another year.

No reason to destroy it other than say frick you to people who appreciated it. A lower form of human who gets enjoyment from destruction of what gives others hope, peace, comfort or beauty. Despicable.

Curious to see if it was an English 16 year old or an "English" 16 year old.
