Burnham
seafront shelters hit by more vandalism
 Burnham-On-Sea
has been hit by a new wave of petty vandalism this week with the
town's Marine Cove gardens and seafront being targeted.
Vandals
attacked the boarded-up seafront shelters in Marine Cove by removing
roof tiles from the top of the buildings, as pictured here.
Scores
of the broken tiles were left scattered around the gardens.
Burnham-On-Sea
police are examining CCTV footage to see whether it holds any
clues about the identity of the criminals.
Burnham-On-Sea.com
reported earlier
this month how Sedgemoor Distrrict Council had invested £5,000
in upgrading the CCTV camera at Marine Cove to help police tackle
vandalism. It comes after the shelters were boarded following
several attacks during January.
Meanwhile,
in a separate attack, wooden benches along the southern Esplanade
have also been damaged this week, with repairs expected to run
into hundreds of pounds.
