A pony has been spotted loose on the A47 this morning.

It was seen on the Norwich Southern Bypass between Thickthorn and the turn off for the A140.

Police confirmed they were called to the scene at 9.20am on Monday.

"Officers are currently at the scene dealing with the incident," a spokesperson said.

It has been a busy morning on Norfolk's roads, with plenty of delays already on that stretch of the A47 due to roadworks.
