Two men who cut down famous Sycamore Gap sentenced | Cameras in court

The two men who felled the iconic Sycamore Gap tree have each been jailed for four years and three months. Adam Carruthers, 32, and Daniel Graham, 39, drove 30 miles through a storm from Cumbria to Northumberland on 27 September 2023 before felling the landmark in less than three minutes. Prosecutors said their "moronic mission" caused more than £620,000 worth of damage to the tree and more than £1,000 worth of damage to Hadrian's Wall, where it fell. They took a wedge as a trophy, which has never been recovered, and seemed to revel in the media coverage, exchanging messages and voice notes about the story going "wild" and "viral". Footage of the moment the tree was felled was played during the men's trial at Newcastle Crown Court, where they both denied but were found guilty of two counts of criminal damage.
