As an update on our previous message regarding the theft of car number plates, the Parish Council have forwarded on the following statement from the police:
​
Please be aware that there have been a few concerning incidents in the last week in Winsford. An attempt was made to force a garage door and in a separate incident, a male was seen acting suspiciously elsewhere before driving off towards the village. Please be vigilant. Should you witness any similar incidents, report at the time via 999 (if ongoing), 101 or online via the Avon and Somerset Police website.
​
Exmoor is generally a very low crime area but please take this as a timely prompt to check the general security of your property.
