Appeal after Kingdom Hall damaged
We’re appealing for witnesses, CCTV and dashcam footage after damage to the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Minehead.
Between Sunday 15 February and Tuesday 17 February, the letterbox of the Christian place of worship in Mart Road was damaged with paint, and a threatening letter and dog faeces were dropped inside.
Overnight Tuesday 17 to Wednesday 18 February a vehicle was also damaged with symbols associated with the far right.
We’re carrying out uniformed patrols of the area to reassure the community, as well as investigating religiously-aggravated criminal damage.
If you have any relevant dashcam or other footage, especially from the Mart Road or Glenmore Road area, since Sunday, or any information which could help, we’d like to hear from you.
If you can help, please call 101 and give the call handler the reference number 5226045306, or complete our online appeals form.
You can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers 100 per cent anonymously on 0800 555 111 or via their Anonymous Online Form.
No personal details are taken, information cannot be traced or recorded and you will not go to court or have to speak to police when contacting Crimestoppers.
