Police
swoop on quiet Burnham-On-Sea back street
Police
sealed off a quiet Burnham-On-Sea back street on Saturday morning,
February 25th.
 Tape
marked 'Crime Scene, Do Not Enter' was put around a green waste
container at the back of GW Hurleys in an area not far from Phoenix
Toe, off Technical Street.
Residents
told Burnham-On-Sea.com that several police vehicles had rushed
to the scene at around 9am.
 Officers
spoke to people living in the area, but nothing appeared to have
been found, said eyewitnesses.
The
area around a Severnside waste container was cordoned off for
around an hour while investigations were carried out.
A
police spokesman told Burnham-On-Sea.com that the incident had
turned out to be a "false alarm" and that the matter
was now closed. He
declined to comment on what had triggered the alarm or give further
details.
A
spokesman for GW Hurleys also said he did not know why the incident
had occurred.
