Here is an update to the previous post:

Suffolk Constabulary

Two people arrested following a break-in at a business premises in Kessingland have been charged in connection with the incident.

Police were called at 2.40am yesterday morning, Monday 10 September, to reports of a burglary in progress at the Co-op in Field Lane.

The front window of the building was smashed to gain entry to the building and a green Land Rover Defender was then used to drag out the cash machine from inside.

The Land Rover became stuck in the process and was abandoned at the scene and so the offenders then transferred the cash machine into a blue Volkswagen Golf and drove off in the direction of the beach.

Police units searched the area and two police cars were involved in a collision with the suspect vehicle, before it drove off onto the A12 travelling in the wrong direction.

The suspects decamped from the vehicle in Romany Lane and following further searches in this area, officers arrested two people in connection with the burglary. It is believed there could be up to five suspects in total.

The Land Rover Defender was discovered as having been stolen from a property in Gisleham earlier yesterday morning, at some time prior to 2.40am.

Officers are also linking this crime with the attempted theft of a Land Rover Discovery from a premises in Barley Way, Lowestoft, at around 1.40am yesterday morning; and also a burglary at a house in Keysoe, Bedfordshire, overnight between 28 and 29 August where a Volkswagen Golf was stolen.

The two suspects were taken to Great Yarmouth Police Investigation Centre for questioning and have now been charged as follows:

- Jack Morgan, aged 21, of Common Road, Potton, Bedfordshire. He has been charged with three offences: burglary other building; theft of a motor vehicle (a Land Rover Defender); and attempted theft of a motor vehicle (a Land Rover Discovery)

- A 17-year-old boy from the Bedford area. He has been charged with five offences: burglary other building; theft of a motor vehicle (a Land Rover Defender); attempted theft of a motor vehicle (a Land Rover Discovery); dangerous driving; and failing to stop for police.

Both males have been remanded in custody and are due to appear before Norwich Magistrates’ Court today, Tuesday 11 September.

Anyone with information about this incident, or who witnessed any suspicious activity in Kessingland, Gisleham, or Barley Way, Lowestoft, between 1am and 3am on Monday 10 September, is asked to contact East CID at Lowestoft Police Station on 101 quoting reference 51848/18.

There appears to be an error in the date near the start of this message. Indications further down are it was the 20th which was Thursday.

The Lowestoft Journal report does state that the accident happened at around 5.55pm on Wednesday, September 19.

I guess the journal was working from the same notice and decided to use the 19th as the date so changed the day to Wednesday. I went from the date used in the incident reference from within the message, although I see the Journal has used the 19th. Maybe the Journal checked it out with the police.

The police website is the same as the notice: http://www.lowestoftjournal.co.uk/news/ ... -1-5713436

[morty1753]

The report I read in the journal was dated 21-September so pre-dates the police notice. The police notice also states Thursday 19 September, when 19 September was, in fact, a Wednesday. Plenty of opportunity for confusion when the Police cannot even get days and dates correct.

I have actually emailed them through their 'Contact Us' drawing their attention to it and asking for clarification, although that earlier link at the foot of the latest LJ report is almost certainly the right date. I wonder if they'll reply

[boatbuilder]

For information, I did receive a reply to me email mentioned above, which I forgot to mention.
Copy below:

It would seem the police weren't called at the time of the incident, which is rather unusual considering it was a 'hit-and-run'.
