Thetford Crowds Attack Homes After Online Address Leak

Someone posted online where people seeking refuge in Thetford were living. Over two nights, more than 100 protesters gathered outside one house, threatening five men, smashing a window, and trying to get inside. Two people were arrested and three police officers hurt. Local MP Terry Jermy called it "mob rule" stirred up by outsiders. One man stays in custody; Brian Thompson, 68, goes to court 25 August for carrying a bat.
