City folk were startled yesterday evening as a police helicopter searched overhead for a wanted man.
Police were called to Waterloo Park in the NR3 area of Norwich on Sunday, September 25.
Officers arrived at 10.25pm as part of efforts to hunt a man wanted for failing to appear at court.
An eyewitness who lives nearby but who did not want to be named said: "We could see two police vans and three police cars staking out the back of Waterloo Park.
"There were officers searching in the park and front gardens nearby using torches and a dog.
"A helicopter was also circling very low for well over an hour."
Despite the search effort, attempts to locate the man were unsuccessful.
A police spokeswoman said: "Police attended the Waterloo Park area on Sunday, September 25 as part of search efforts for a man who is wanted for failing to appear at court.
"Enquiries are currently ongoing to locate him."
