A tortoise who was stolen from a back garden in Lowestoft has been discovered and returned home.

'Fred', who is approximately 43 years old, was taken sometime between 30 September and Wednesday (11 October), from a home on Seago Street.

He is 'described as being the size of a bowler hat with paint splashes on his shell.'

Fred was found in a nearby alleyway and is now safe with his owner.
