A man has been arrested outside a school on suspicion of stalking.

Norfolk police have confirmed the man was detained in King's Lynn on Monday morning.

It happened at the Howard Junior School in Gaywood.

When contacted and asked whether it had any statement, the school said it had no further information it could release and referred the matter to the police press office.

In a statement later reported by a local news website, it confirmed there had been an incident and said: "We are working with the police to ensure the matter is dealt with as quickly and as smoothly as possible."

Norfolk police said: "A man was arrested in Gaywood today in connection with an investigation into a stalking offence against another adult.

"He was taken to King’s Lynn Police Investigation Centre for questioning and remains in custody."

The EDP understands the man was approached by officers outside the premises on Parkway before lessons began.
