Burglar in surgical mask hunted by police

Police are hunting a burglar who wore a surgical mask while attempting to get into a home in North Somerset.

The incident happened at 4.20am today, Monday, April 27, in the village of Kenn, near Clevedon.

Police said the man tried to break into a home, and was captured on CCTV, wearing very distinctive clothing - as well as the mask.

"The man we’d like to identify is white and wore a light blue surgical face mask, a dark leather looking jacket with two white stripes down the sleeves, a dark hooded top with the hood up and a dark blue baseball cap underneath," said a spokesperson for Avon and Somerset police.

"If you recognise the man, or saw anyone acting suspiciously in the area around the time, please call 101 and provide the call handler with the reference 5220091589," he added.
