Police probe damage after cross pinned to landmark

The fabric was attached to the Westbury White Horse, which is around 180ft high and can be visible for miles, on September 9.

English Heritage removed the installation later that day and assessed the pegs used as having caused “minimal damage” to the landmark.

Wiltshire Police initially said the incident was not being investigated as no criminal offences were thought to have been committed.

However, yesterday a police spokesman confirmed that an investigation had begun.
