Helicopter joins search for man in Highbridge after shed break-ins

A helicopter was used to help Burnham-On-Sea police conduct a night-time search of Highbridge early on Wednesday morning (March 5th) following a recent spate of shed break-ins.

The force helicopter, pictured, swooped in above above the town at 1.40am after the alarm was raised when a man was seen with several mountain bikes in Tyler Way.

"A man was reported to us with two mountain bikes in Tyler Way," police spokesman Dan Mountain told Burnham-On-Sea.com.

"Police attended as part of their investigations into a series of recent shed break-ins. The man was briefly sighted again in Market Street and a full search of the area was conducted, with the helicopter helping officers on the ground."

He added that no arrests had been made.
