Taunton Robbery
Avon & Somerset Police want your help with a robbery investigation. The incident happened at about 5.15am on Saturday 2 November in Staplegrove Road, Taunton, near its junction with Chip Lane.

A few minutes later the man tried again, while the woman was still in Staplegrove Road. He made off empty-handed through the grounds of Taunton School towards Greenway Road when other people approached.
