One person was arrested by police in Burnham-On-Sea on Thursday (April 10th) after several properties were raided in the town centre.

A Police spokesman told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “Officers executed two pre-planned warrants at a residential property in College Street and George Street.”

“One person was arrested and is in police custody.”
