A large volume of foam that mysteriously appeared on a river is being investigated by the Environmental Agency.
Images shared by the agency on Saturday morning showed the foam covering an area of the River Thet, in Thetford.
An EA spokesperson said the source of the foam, which remains visible, had been detected and further discharge stopped.
The cause of foam is not yet known, with an investigation underway, but Anglian Water confirmed it had been caused by a “third party”.
EA added that a second foam plume was possible today with the foam continuing to travel down the river.
The spokesperson said: “Environment Agency officers are continuing to investigate the cause of a large volume of foam found in the River Thet in the centre of Thetford, yesterday.
On Saturday EA had also urged members of the public to report any fish in distress.

An Anglian Water spokeswoman said: “One of our managers is on site helping the Environment Agency with their checks which will then go back to the third party responsible.”
