ST. STEPHEN, N.B. - It may only be spring but the Grinch appears to be off to an early start in southwestern New Brunswick.

The RCMP were called to the Cleland Road near Dufferin on Monday night to find widespread destruction at a Christmas tree farm.

Someone hot-wired a tractor on the property, then drove it through the farm, destroying about 350 trees.

The culprit then crashed the tractor into a ravine and fled.

There's no word yet on the cost of the damage.
