Days before a couple were due to move back in following a devastating fire, thieves have stolen a boiler from a recently restored house.
Last April a fire tore through Lake Cottage in Beccles Road, in Fritton, near Great Yarmouth.
Firefighters worked to save the 150-year-old thatched building, but it was extensively damaged in the blaze.
After lengthy repairs everything was nearly ready for the occupants to move back in.

The boiler is a Wallstar Boiler 18/24 and its serial number is 440874.
