The news comes after a crime in Suffolk in the early hours of Thursday morning (September 7) where a Co-Op shop in Newmarket was broken into.

A spokesperson for Cambridgeshire police later said: "We were made aware of the incident by Suffolk police due to a similar incident we had in St Ives at about 1.30am yesterday, Thursday."
