A teenage girl who stole garden ornaments has received a formal warning from the police.

The reprimand of the 16-year-old comes after residents in the Toftwood area or Dereham raised concerns about increased unruly behaviour coupled with the thefts of garden ornaments.

The teenager was interviewed and admitted involvement in three offences.

Sgt Lance Ogbourne, from the Dereham Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT), said: 'Anti-social behaviour and associated crime can have a detrimental impact on communities and I would like to assure residents that we will take action against those people responsible.'
