Norfolk police have held raids across Breckland in a bid to crackdown on a recent rise in burglaries at commercial premises in the district.

As part of Operation Octane, police officers targeted homes of known criminals in Thetford this morning.

It was the third day of police action.

Norfolk chief constable Phil Gormley said: “You get mixed results with search warrants but it sends a strong message to offenders that if you are dealing in drugs or causing significant problems in the community, you can expect some attention from us.”
