Five men have been arrested for a roof repair scam after a dramatic police chase on the A47.
The group were wanted by officers after arriving at their victim's home on Tuesday and telling them they needed roof repair work costing £5,000.
The victim gave them the money and the gang completed some of the work at the home in Orchard Grove, King's Lynn, to a poor standard.
The men returned on Wednesday claiming to be police officers and asked the man to leave another £5,000 on his doorstep.

The vehicle used by the suspects was then located by the Roads and Armed Policing Team on the A47 in Tilney All Saints.
It failed to stop for officers and a chase began towards March before stopping a short while later when two passengers fled the scene.
The remaining three were arrested before police searched the local area where the two outstanding suspects were later located.
Four men aged in their late teens, 20s, and 30s were arrested on suspicion of fraud and a man in his 50s was arrested on suspicion of failing to stop for police as well as fraud.
All five men were taken to King's Lynn Police Investigation Centre for questioning where they remain.
