Police are appealing for witnesses after a remote control car was stolen from a shed in Beccles and the owner was injured after disturbing the offenders.

It happened between 11.30pm and 11.55pm on Tuesday (25 May), at an address in Smallgate.

A shed at the property was broken into and a large remote control car with 'Rockstar' stickers on it was stolen from inside.

The offenders were challenged by the victim who attempted to stop them, but they pushed him off causing minor injuries before running away with the car.

The suspects are described as two white men, aged in their 20s and wearing dark clothing. They were seen driving away in a dark coloured vehicle similar to a Ford Fiesta or Vauxhall Corsa.

Officers would like to hear from any witnesses to this crime, or anyone who is offered a remote control car for sale matching the one pictured.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Neighbourhood Response Team at Lowestoft Police Station, quoting reference: 27492/21.
