Emergency services were called after a van crashed into a bungalow - prompting fears of a gas leak.

Police were called at around 4.25am on Saturday, following reports of a collision on Middlemarch Road in Dereham.

Officers discovered upon arrival that a van had crashed into the property, although no one was in at the time.

Due to a smell of gas being detected, two fire crews were mobilised as a precaution and an engineer from British Gas was also sent to ensure the scene was safe.

Part of the building has been covered with protective sheeting.
