Burnham-On-Sea shop faces repair bill after vandals smash window

A Burnham-On-Sea clothes shop faces a repair bill for hundreds of pounds after vandals attacked it during the early hours of Saturday morning (January 26th).

A large window at the front of New Look in the High Street was smashed, although bosses say nothing was stolen.

Cindy Tappill, the shop's Deputy Manager, told Burnham-On-Sea.com that shocked staff had found the damage when they arrived to open up the shop on Saturday morning.

"Fortunately, nothing was stolen. It appears to have been solely vandalism," she said.

"We think the window may have been kicked in because the centre of the glass has been pushed right through."

She said Burnham police had been informed of the incident and were already investigating. Anyone with information should contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

The window was boarded up later on Saturday - as pictured - and the repairs are expected to cost in the region of £300-£400.

Burnham-On-Sea.com reported earlier this month how Sailsbury Florists - further down the High Street - had suffered a similar attack when a window was smashed by vandals.
