Crime-busting
musical 'Tricksters' comes to Burnham-On-Sea
Elderly
people in Burnham-On-Sea are to be given the chance to see a musical
which is aimed at helping them not to fall victim to crime.
As part of a new 'Safer Homes in Somerset' initiative, a musical
called 'Tricksters' is being performed in Burnham and across the
county from February 27th.
 The
production involves actors telling the story of a pensioner called
George, who is a victim of a distraction burglary.
Tricksters
will be performed on February 27th at 10am in the Princess Hall,
Princess Street, Burnham-On-Sea.
The
production is laced with songs and ends with a rousing sing-a-long
of wartime favourites.
Those
who attend will also have an opportunity to view a number of exhibitions
and displays designed to help improve the safety and awareness
of senior citizens.
PC
Brett Gitsham said: "Tricksters is a fun way of getting across
a very serious message."
"Unfortunately
all too often people fail to take note of very simple crime prevention
advice which could really stop them becoming a victim of crime.
Hopefully Tricksters will encourage people to help us protect
them."
The performances are supported by a number of organisations including
the local community safety partnerships, Age Concern and Somerset
Primary Care Trusts.
