PEOPLE are being asked to help identify a man who attempted to break in to a vehicle in Crewkerne. 

It happened in the early hours of Sunday, October 13, when a man was seen to approach a vehicle parked on a driveway in North Street and look inside it before walking away when a security light came on.

Enquires have identified a man who was in the area at the time and might have information about the incident. 

This person, or anyone who recognises him, should contact PC Chris Williams on 101.

There have been several thefts from motor vehicles in the town in the past couple of weeks and motorists are asked to ensure they leave their vehicles secure and that no personal property is left on display.

Homeowners are also asked to check their sheds and outbuildings to make sure they too are secure and that any valuable property is left out of sight wherever possible and marked with your postcode and house number.
