The issue is now in the hands of the police, who are appealing for residents to check their security footage.
Papakura Board chairman Brent Catchpole says residents are at a loss at to why someone would go and chop down trees like this.
He says clearly they must have gone there with the intention of cutting them down - because they had a chainsaw with them.
Brent Catchpole says there's every intention to have the trees replaced in the very near future.
