A SHOPPER was racially abused in front of her two young children in a Tesco store in Somerset.

A man and a woman were verbally abusive to her, swearing at her, calling her "an immigrant" and telling her: "Go back to your own country."

Police say her children "became very upset by the incident" at the Tesco store in Queensway Place, Yeovil, last Friday (August 10).

The suspects are believed to be known to each other as they left the store together.

Police have issued CCTV images of two people they believe may be able to assist with their enquiries.

The woman is described as white, 60 to 70-years-old, of medium build, with shoulder length bleached blonde hair and distinctive bags under her eyes. She was wearing a black coloured cardigan over a black top, wearing pearl earrings.

The man is described as white, 40 to 50-years-old, wearing glasses, a dark coloured long sleeved shirt and dark trousers. He had tattoos on his hands.
