Following this week's incident, a Norfolk Constabulary spokeswoman said: "We know these incidents are concerning for the community, and they are being taken very seriously by the officers investigating, with all lines of enquiry being explored.

"Patrols have been increased in the area between key time frames, typically in the late evenings and early hours of the morning, but we also endeavour to be as visible as possible during the day."
