Neighbours tried to steal garden

Victorious: Theresa and James Parry
An elderly couple who tried to take over part of their neighbours' land when they thought they were away on holiday have been landed with a huge legal bill. Ernest and Elizabeth Zarb tried to extend their garden by knocking down their neighbours' fence and erecting a new one. Neighbours James and Theresa Parry said they were intimidated by the Zarbs' 'bully boy tactics', which saw Mr Zarb cut down the couple's beloved elderflower tree.
