A man is facing a whopping £1.6million bill after he allegedly cut down 32 of his neighbour's trees so he could have a "better view".
Samih Shinway, of New Jersey, US, said he was furious when he discovered precious oak, birch and maple trees on his property in had been cut down. The 40-year-old accused his neighbour, Grant Haber, of violating local laws to fell the mature trees so he could get a better look of New York City's skyline from his million-dollar mansion.
Haber will be legally bound obliged to pay to £800 per tree to replace them - however, the top bill could be into the millions because of town council rules. Samih claims he got home on February 27 to the sound of chainsaws, before finding four men on his property with a tree shredder when investigating the noise, reports the Daily Star.
