Police from Bridgwater CID who are investigating a recent attempted abduction incident in Wedmore confirmed on Tuesday (June 17th) that they are also probing a separate incident in Highbridge.
The Wedmore incident in May involved a man who was described as wearing a blonde wig and driving a red car. There is nothing to suggest the man was trying to pose as a woman, as some media have reported.
Officers at Bridgwater CID are also investigating a separate incident, which took place on Saturday 14th June at approximately 4pm in Mallard Place, Highbridge, which backs on to Apex Park.
“A man or woman put their head over the fence of a back garden and spoke to two young children – that person is described as having fair hair,” police spokeswoman Melissa Cullum told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
“Local enquiries have been made to find out more and police ask that anyone with any other information should contact them on 0845 456 7000 or on Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
The spokeswoman added that there is nothing to suggest that either of the incidents are linked. It comes after schools in Burnham-On-Sea issued a warning to parents on Monday, as reported here.
