Missing four-year-old prompts police search near Burnham-On-Sea

Police were called to a Brent Knoll garden centre on Thursday afternoon (December 10th) after a young girl was reported missing.

Woried staff at Sanders Garden World called in officers to investigate and the store, which was full of Christmas shoppers, was temporarily closed to prevent people leaving or entering.

Police and staff searched the store for the youngster, who was aged just four.

Simon Whitby, police spokesman, told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "We were called at 4pm and the girl had already been missing for an hour. There was lots of concern for her."

"A full search was carried out before she was eventually found safe and well on the premises at 4.30pm."
