An attack on a mosque is being treated as racially-motivated.

Several large stones were thrown through the window of the mosque in Yeovil, Somerset, earlier this month.

The incident happened at the mosque on Sherborne Road sometime between 11.30pm on July 15 and 1.30am the following day.

An Avon and Somerset Police spokesman appealed for witnesses to the incident to come forward.

"We're treating the incident as racially or religiously aggravated criminal damage," the spokesman added.
