Police have stepped up powers in Thetford after anti-immigration disorder continued for a third night. Five people have now been arrested, including one man on suspicion of racial hatred, after unrest in which officers were assaulted and properties linked to alleged asylum seekers were targeted. Police say some residents were escorted from their homes for their own safety, while extra public order powers have now been introduced across the town. #Thetford #Norfolk #AsylumSeeker #Immigration #Protest #UKPolitics
