Police seized more than 100 cans and bottles of alcohol during Monday’s Burnham-On-Sea Carnival when they took action to prevent anti-social behaviour in the town centre.
Officers patrolled the streets during and after the parade and there was a high-profile presence along the High Street after the procession ended.
Police broke up a large disturbance outside Chaplains bar on the seafront and mounted police on horses were used to break up several large groups of youngsters on the High Street.
However, police spokesman Steve Game told Burnham-On-Sea.com the event had been a low-crime one.
“It went reasonably well,” he said. “There were a few isolated incidents and some on-street drinking where we took positive action.”
“Around 100 items of alcohol were seized during the evening.”
Burnham-On-Sea.com also understand there were three arrests during the course of the event.
