"It is highly likely that whoever took them will attempt to sell them in the local area or further afield.

"We would urge anyone who is approached to buy a tree, which is clearly not from a reputable company, to contact the police immediately."

Officers say it happened some time between 5pm on Sunday and 7am yesterday.
