Burnham man threatened with baseball bat during late night mugging

-

A Burnham-On-Sea man was robbed of his iPod and a mobile phone during a late night mugging in the town on Monday evening (October 19th).

The man, aged in his mid-20s, was walking home along Berrow Road at 11.30pm when three hooded youngsters approached him near the junction with Stoddens Road (pictured) and threatened him with a baseball bat.

“After handing over his valuables, he was pushed into a hedge and the three ran away towards Burnham,” a relative of the man told Burnham-On-Sea.com. “He’s understandably very shaken up by the whole incident.”

The victim walked towards Berrow where he raised the alarm at a call box. Police arrived shortly after midnight on Tuesday morning.

The incident follows one involving an 18-year-old woman who was robbed of her iPod and digital camera while she walked along Rectory Road at about 10.50pm on Sunday, August 23rd.

Previously, a 16-year-old boy was punched to the ground and robbed of his iPod by two men in black hoodies on Berrow Road at about 11pm on Monday, July 27th.

Anyone with information should contact police via the usual Crimestoppers number on 0800 555 111.
