Helicopter search above Brean leads to arrest of wanted man
 A
police helicopter and dogs were involved in a four-hour search
in Brean in the early hours of Tuesday morning (August 5th).
Police
cars cordoned off roads and the force's helicopter (pictured)
carried out sweeps of the village with its infra-red camera after
a wanted man was reported to be in the village.
Police
spokesman Dan Mountain told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "Officers
were called after reports of suspicious activity in a car in South
Road. Subsequent investigations led to the arrest of a 21-year-old
man from Plymouth who was wanted on recall from prison. He currently
remains in custody in Bridgwater."
It
is understood that the man's car had also been checked and seized
for having no insurance. A further search around the Brean Golf
Course area was carried out to find other males and enquiries
are ongoing.
