Police are looking for witnesses after a cabinet containing fibre optic cables was ripped out of a street in Lowestoft and stolen.

The green box was taken from Walmer Road sometime between Thursday and Friday last week (16th-17th February).

Officers are asking anyone with information, footage or pictures to get in touch.

The green cabinets are a common sight on many streets in the UK, and are used to manage internet and telephone connections to nearby houses.
