Police probe airgun incident at Tesco store in Burnham-On-Sea

Supermarket giant Tesco has played down an incident at its Burnham-On-Sea store earlier this week in which an airgun pellet was shot through one of its windows.

The overnight incident occurred at the front of the store in Love Lane.

A large pane of glass at the northern end of the entrance lobby had to be boarded up and a small hole was punched in another pane by an airgun, as pictured here.

Tesco spokeswoman Taryna Surtees told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "There was a very minor incident at the store. It was reported to the police and we assisted them with their enquiries in any way we could."

She added that nothing had been stolen from the store and no-one had been injured.

Police, meanwhile, are investigating the incident and anyone with information should call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
