Burnham-On-Sea police were called to investigate reports of an alleged serious assault in the town’s Manor Gardens on Sunday (February 25th).

A large section of the gardens, pictured above, was taped off by officers as they conducted a search of the area.

But after several hours of investigations, officers called off the probe after concluding that the incident had been a false alarm.

Sgt Julian Brandon told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “There were concerns that a serious assault had taken place in Manor Gardens.”

“A full search of the bins, seating and gardens took place – and while evidence of drinking was found – we concluded that this had been a false alarm with good intent.”
