Two men have been arrested after reports Nazi slogans and racist slurs were being shouted in Wells.

Neighbourhood police officers have since been patrolling Cathedral Green following the incident, which was also said to include abuse and homophobic comments, on Thursday, July 18. Police attended soon after the initial 999 call, at about 5.15pm. Two men, one in his 30s, the other in his 40s, were arrested on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence and remain in our cells. Neighbourhood Sergeant Simon Lancey said: "People who had been innocently enjoying the sunshine in a public place felt they had to leave the area due to this abhorrent anti-social behaviour.  "My patrol colleagues responded and took prompt action. We're in the area today and I hope people will talk to us if they have any concerns. I'd like to thank the people who called us to report this incident. It shows that Wells is a community where people look after one another." If you saw what happened or have any footage which could help our investigation, please call 101 and give the reference 5224187515.
