Police search Norwich river after man reported 'in difficulty'

Police have scaled back a search on a river after they were alerted to a man "in difficulty".

The coastguard, fire service and ambulances were called to an incident on the River Wensum near Duke Street in Norwich around 5.20am on Friday.

Three fire engines were also called and the road was closed, but has since re-opened.

Police later updated to say that the search had been suspended as no one had been found.

A spokesman added: "A drone was also used to check the site but emergency services have now left the scene.

"Broadsbeat will attend later today to do some final checks using sonar technology."
