Burnham-On-Sea businesses targeted by vandals

Burnham-On-Sea shopkeepers are once again counting the cost of crime after vandals struck three businesses in the town on Friday night (April 27th).

The Kebab Kitchen in the High Street, pictured above, had a large pane of glass smashed, leaving its owners with a repair bill of several hundred pounds.

Abbott & Frost estate agents had to board up one of its windows in Victoria Street on Saturday morning after it too was attacked, as pictured right.

And Michael's Bar on the seafront also fell victim to the vandalism spree, with one of its windows being completely shattered.

Burnham police are studying CCTV footage to check whether any of the incidents have been captured on film.

According to members of Burnham-On-Sea's discussion forums, there were also violent scenes in the High Street near the kebab shop.

The latest incidents come just days after police reassured traders that crime in the town is being brought under control.
