CCTV appeal following religious hate crime

Police have released a CCTV image of a man they would like to speak to after a threatening letter was left at a Jehovah's Witnesses hall.

Avon and Somerset Police said the incident was the latest in a series of hate crimes targeting the Christian group and the Kingdom Hall in Mart Road, Minehead, Somerset.

A man in his 50s had previously been arrested in connection with the incident and released on bail, police said.

Officers said they would like to speak to a white man who was wearing a cowboy-style hat, chequered trousers and a jumper with a white stripe down the sleeve.

Det Con Louis Morris, from Avon and Somerset Police, said the force was working with community groups and faith organisations to offer support and make sure everyone felt safe.

"There is absolutely no place in our communities for hate crime, and we would urge anybody who witnesses such incidents to report them because we will investigate them fully and ensure justice is served," he added.

CCTV, house-to-house and forensic enquiries have been carried out following the incident, but anybody with information is asked to contact police.
