Trinity College didn't make a complaint of criminal damage apparently.
Why does that matter?There is no crime.
There is crime for sure, but one party is pretending there isn't for some reason, and are have as yet failed to report it.

At this time they (Trinity College) do not wish to make a report to police.

Dug up the grass on Trinity’s quad. What have they got against grass?
What a messhttps://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/cambridge-ne...
Just get them arrested and not allowed to have their iphones back until they've repaired the damage.

Standing there and letting it happen is probably breaking a promise though. ..
What's the legitimacy for using force to stop someone digging up a lawn that the owner is allowing to happen? Playing right into their hands if you do....
No need for the owner to have to stop them, allowing it happen is not the same as consenting.

What crime is it when someone allows someone else to dig up their garden?
At some of the rates I've been quoted for contract gardening, it bloody should be.In fact, thinking about it...."Oi - you XR lot. I've got half an acre of woodland down here just covered in capitalist undergrowth that I'd really, really hate to see cleared, and I just love BP. So come down here and do your worst".

XR arrive, start digging.
Police turn up "do you want us to arrest them for criminal damage, you'll need to make a complaint"
Trinity: "No, let them carry on"
...sit back and watch the outrage unfold.

I wonder how a protestor might react if some vandal knew their address and went round and dug up their front lawn?
I'd imagine the actions of the protestors digging up the lawn has caused unnecessary pollution. They've added costs to the Uni that could have been spent on education, wasted Police funds. I see them as hypocritical thugs.
Can't imagine the apoplexy it would cause if someone went round to their place and hammered real MEAT frozen sausages into their lawn.I'd imagine the actions of the protestors digging up the lawn has caused unnecessary pollution. They've added costs to the Uni that could have been spent on education, wasted Police funds. I see them as hypocritical thugs.
Any takers?

The later update does now mention that "a crime has been recorded for criminal damage."

Sounds like a lot of the colleges have now (belatedly) closed their entrance doors for the week.

I suspect they may also have thought "The College is richer than Creosus, we can get that lawn relaid tomorrow. And the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that....."XR arrive, start digging.

I'd recommend when they relay the lawn they give consideration to installing pop up sprinklers....

Good, I'm glad they've seen sense. Be interesting to see how the offenders are dealt with now. https://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/cambridge-ne...
