Security camera footage has been released of a man stealing from the front porch of a house in the dead of night in Lowestoft. 

The thief - who can be seen wearing blue jeans, black Adidas trainers and a blue coat - is seen in CCTV video approaching the property on Newark Road and entering through the gate.

He is then seen picking up and walking away with two artificial potted plants that were standing on the porch. 

Footage from earlier in the evening of April 24 shows the man passing by the house carrying items.

The homeowner, Hannah Gibbs Baker, said on social media: "After stealing our trees we believe he went down the alley towards Enstone Road.

"Please can anyone around those areas please check any cameras or Ring doorbell footage from April 24 around 1.15am to 2.15am (our camera clocks are incorrect)."

Anyone with any information or footage of the man is asked to contact the police on 101 quoting crime number 37/23641/23.
