SHOCKING footage has emerged of the moment a yob smashing into a car in Bridgwater to steal electronics inside. 

The car was parked outside Monmouth Scientific on East Quay in Bridgwater. 

The theft occurred on Wednesday night at 11pm. 

The video was posted on Facebook by David Pomeroy, from Bishops Lydeard, who is appealing for help in identifying the person. 

He wrote: "Can anyone help me and the police identify this person who broke into one of my vehicles in Bridgwater last night.

"The police and in particular the Scenes of Crime officer who attended this morning have been very helpful - they have managed to obtain DNA, clothing fibres and a fingerprint so all we need is a name to match him to the crime.

"This happened at 11:05pm on East Quay, he came back 5 minutes later to help himself to the dash cam - he also visited us earlier in the month and stole from another vehicle of ours.

"Any help would be appreciated."

Avon and Somerset Police officers are now investigating the incident. 

A spokesman said: "We are investigating the theft of a dash cam from a car on East Quay at 11pm on Wednesday night.
