An angry Burnham-On-Sea motorist has written to Prime Minister Tony Blair demanding stiffer sentences for vandals who commit so-called ‘petty’ crimes.
Dee Emery, pictured, contacted Downing Street after her family’s car was damaged in a Burnham street.
The wing mirrors of several vehicles along Abingdon Street were damaged in an overnight attack, but the man responsible has been handed what Mrs Emery brands a “ludicrously low fine” of less than £50.
She told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “People who commit stupid offences like this should be properly punished to ensure they’re not tempted to do the same thing again.”
“The law is too soft. I want to see some changes, which is why I’ve written directly to our Prime Minister.”
