Community-spirited residents in Burnham-On-Sea rallied together on Tuesday (October 8th) to help a restaurant owner after an overnight break-in.
Italian restaurant ‘Ogni Volta’ in Burnham-On-Sea High Street had its front door smashed by an intruder during the early hours of Tuesday morning who then daubed paint over furniture.
Restaurant owner Nicola Gess said he was “shocked and very upset” by the incident and said Police are investigating.
“My CCTV cameras captured the person smashing the glass door at the front of the property at 2am and then leaving paint on tables, chairs and floors,” said Nicola.
