Police are hunting three teenagers who broke into a home earlier this afternoon, with officers still searching the surrounding area for them.
At around 12.50pm on Monday afternoon, police were called to a home on Clover Road in Sprowston, on the corner of Clover Court, to reports of an aggravated burglary.

The trio, all male, were armed with weapons, but a police spokesman said it was unclear what they were carrying.
A heavy police presence had been reported in the area, as officers continued efforts to locate the three teenagers.
As of just before 4pm one police car and a forensics van remained outside the property, and tape cordoning off the property was removed at about 4.10pm.

One neighbour said they "heard a lot of banging and not much else since then", but were not aware of what had happened.
It is understood that nothing was stolen from the property during the break-in, but that the victim was shaken up by the incident.
