AVON and Somerset Police is still appealing for information concerning an attempted armed robbery which took place in Burnham-on-Sea earlier this year.

Police were called on Friday, July 14, following a report of a man entering a Nationwide Building Society branch on the High Street and threatening the employees.

Nothing was taken, but employees were left understandably shaken.

Armed officers, as well as a police helicopter, attended the scene.

A police spokesperson said: "Two people were arrested and a third attended a voluntary police interview following an attempted robbery at a building society in Burnham-on-Sea on July 14.

"At this stage, all three have been eliminated from the enquiry and no further action will be taken.

"We’re still keen to speak to anyone with information which helps us to identify those responsible for this offence. If you can help, please call us on 101 and give the call handler the reference number 5223168621."
