Locals are feeling “absolutely disgusted” at the suggestion that they are behind the incident, which involved a vandal felling eight street pōhutukawa trees with a chainsaw.
Paul and Sue Wilson, who have lived on the road for over 10 years, arrived home on Monday from a trip to Waiheke Island to find a line of felled trees and a curt hand-written note in their letterbox.

The SPCA is appealing to the public for information after two female cats were dumped in a locked cage without food or water in Long Bay.
The tortoiseshell cats were abandoned on the side of the road on Wednesday in Long Bay Regional Park, Auckland.
An SPCA field officer rescued the animals after being alerted by a member of the public.
It is unknown how long the cats had been there.
They are about four years old and are not micro-chipped.
Both are in good health being cared for by SPCA Auckland staff.
Phone 09 256 7300, press 1 for welfare and ask for Inspector Andre Williams if you have any information.
