The police have commented on an incident that saw a park bin set on fire in a seaside town at the weekend. 

Images show three people gathered around the bin fire in Emerald Park, Gorleston at around 4.30pm on Sunday, March 19, as well as a police officer putting it out.

A police spokesperson said: "We were called at 4.33pm on March 19 to reports of a male riding a quad bike around the area potentially putting himself and others at risk.

"Police attended with no sign of the quad bike but evidence of a fire in a rubbish bin that had been put out."

They are not currently treating it as arson and the quad bike rider is not a suspect.
