Vehicles damaged by vandals in centre of Burnham-On-Sea

Hundreds of pounds of damage was caused to vehicles in the centre of Burnham-On-Sea over the Easter weekend when vandals 'keyed' several cars, leaving them with deep scratches.

Residents in Adam Street told Burnham-On-Sea.com the vehicles were so badly damaged that they now require expensive respray work.

The owner of this blue Nissan Note faces a hefty bill when a scratch was left down the whole of one size of the vehicle, as pictured above.

Adam Street resident Pat Dee said: "They keyed my son's vehicle from the front to the back, leaving a scratch that is almost a quarter of an inch deep in parts. Another car was left with a two and a half foot long scratch."

Husband Paul added: "Better CCTV camera coverage is needed in the centre of Burnham so that police can keep an eye out and avoid problems like this."

Police are investigating and have appealed for anyone with information to contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
