“We have seen a series of burglaries and attempts to gain entry to homes in Burnham over the past few days and urge residents to be extra vigilant and keep doors locked,” said PCSO Tracey Grobbeler.
It follows a weekend of incidents that included a burglary in Burnham-On-Sea on Saturday evening.
Police are continuing to hunt for this man in Burnham-On-Sea in connection with their enquiries.
“We were called to Stoddens Road on Saturday afternoon after multiple reports of a man trying door handles to gain entry to homes,” a spokesman told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
