Police have this week issued an appeal for witnesses after a man sexually harassed a woman in Burnham-On-Sea last month.

An Avon and Somerset Police spokesperson says: “We’re appealing for witnesses after a man sexually harassed a woman in Burnham-On-Sea.”

“The incident happened at around 3.50pm on Friday, August 16th behind several properties in Marine Drive, near to Willis Court.”

“The man is described as Asian, aged in his late 20s or early 30s, with a distinctive mole on his face and dark hair. He had some facial hair but not a full beard.”

“If you saw what happened, recognise the description of the man, or of his vehicle, please get in touch.”

“We’ve not had any other reports of this kind of behaviour in the area and so thankfully, it appears to be an isolated incident.”
