Vandals pull down signs outside two Burnham-On-Sea shops

The owners of this Burnham-On-Sea art gallery and coffee shop are counting the cost of crime after vandals ripped down signs outside their two premises at the weekend.

Empty spaces on the walls outside Burnetts Coffee Shop and The Art Gallery just off Victoria Street mark the spots where four signs were sited until vandals attacked them during the early hours of Sunday.

A spokesman from The Art Gallery told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "The four signs were competely broken in a senseless attack. We estimate it will cost us at least £200 to get them replaced."

He added: "A local resident saw it happening and has given Burnham police a description of those involved."
