A burglar broke into Family Fish Bar in Norwich early on 4 October, stealing cash and a phone.

The owners of Family Fish Bar in Silver Road, Norwich, discovered their business had been burgled after returning from holiday. An unknown man broke in through a small window at around 00:30am on 4 October, stealing cash from the till and a landline phone. Shelley Plant and Mahmut Harput, who own the shop and live above it, were in the premises at the time. The couple did not notice the break-in until Sunday evening. On reviewing security footage, Ms Plant said the burglar appeared to be an 'opportunist' who did not wear gloves and stole unusual items alongside the cash. She expressed concern that someone had accessed the premises while they were home. The couple were warned of other recent burglaries in the area. Ms Plant said they did not have large amounts of cash stolen, but had to spend money replacing items. She added that the incident was disappointing given their pride in the business, which they took over in 2023.
