With a population of around just 12,000, Wells is a popular area of Somerset with a historic centre and city status due to its large cathedral. 

The city is often used as a base for visitors to the likes of Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole Caves, Kilver Court Gardens and Glastonbury Abbey. 

Avon and Somerset Police has urged anyone with dashcam or phone footage of South Street over the weekend which could help, or anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious in the area, to call 101 and give the reference 5221261875.

Alternatively, members of the public can ring the independent charity Crimestoppers 100 per cent anonymously on 0800 555 111.
