POLICE are appealing to the public after a safe was found dumped in a hedge at North Perrott Cricket Club.

A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police said: "We are appealing for information about this safe that was found dumped in a hedge at North Perrott Cricket Club in Willis lane.

"The door, which has not been found, has clearly been cut off. A small shelf inside is split and damaged.

"A sticker on the side has the hand-written numbers 58203 – the last number is obscured by a black mark but is possibly a three."

Anyone who can help is asked to call 101 and contact PCSO 9447 Dave Lewis of the Crewkerne beat team.
