The offender then set off a fire extinguisher and damaged a number of paintings inside the hall.

A man was captured on CCTV wearing baggy trousers, and a coat with a fluorescent logo outside the front steps of the town hall on April 1 at 10.20pm.

He left the area at around 10.45pm and police say they think he may be able to assist with the investigation.

Anyone who recognises the man in the CCTV pictures should contact Suffolk police on 101, quoting crime reference 17763/18 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
