A hedge sculpture of Peppa Pig is vandalised after its head is found cut off with a saw, and police appeal for information. The damage is reported to have been discovered between August 13 and 15 on Buckingham Road in Newton Purcell, Oxfordshire.
The owners and local residents describe the topiary as a well-known landmark that took years to grow and required regular care. They say the vandalism appears deliberate, with the figure left damaged across multiple stumps, and that the head was not left at the scene. Police from Thames Valley Police ask for any information, including dash-cam or CCTV footage.
Across the outlets, the incident is consistently described as “beheading” or “decapitation” and framed as deliberate criminal damage. The owner statements emphasize the time and effort involved, while the Mirror and Metro both highlight the police information appeal. Neither outlet reports arrests or suspects, and both focus on the request for witnesses to come forward.
