Parents in Burnham-On-Sea were warned on Monday (June 16th) to be on the look out for a possible child abducter in the area.
Schools in the town sent out warning letters to parents (as pictured) following two incidents – one in Highbridge’s Apex Park – in which children were approached by a man wearing a woman’s wig.
The warning letter, from Sue Horne, Burnham Infants School Headteacher, states: “A man wearing a shoulder-length blond woman’s wig and, possibly, women’s clothing tried to entice girls to accompany him in two separate incidents recently.”
“One of these was in the Apex and the other was from the girl’s own back garden. I would urge you to be aware of where your child is at all times.”
It comes just weeks after police issued a warning about an attempted child abduction in Wedmore.
