A man in his 30s has been arrested after a knife threat was made near Lidl in Sprowston.

Just after 10am on January 20, the victim chased the suspect following a suspected theft at the shop on Blaxter Way, before the suspect pulled out a knife and shouted at the victim.

Following an appeal for witnesses and release of CCTV footage, police said a man in his 30s from Norwich was arrested on suspicion of theft from a shop and possession of a knife.

He was taken to Wymondham Police Investigation Centre and questioned and was later bailed until April 19 pending further enquiries.

Enquiries are ongoing.
