A man has been charged with criminal damage and a public order offence after an incident in Gaywood on Sunday evening.
Emergency services, including police, firefighters, paramedics and a police negotiator, were called to Lynn Road at 9.50pm after reports that a man had scaled a building.
There were also reports that the roof had been damaged and items were being thrown off of the building - which eyewitnesses said was the Betfred betting shop.
Officers said the incident was safely resolved at 3.25am yesterday - with the road, which had been closed during the incident, then reopening.
A man in his 30s was arrested following the incident and taken to Lynn’s Police Investigation Centre for questioning.
Kieren Russell, 33, of Heapham Crescent, Lincolnshire, has since been charged with criminal damage and a public order offence in connection with the incident.
He has been bailed to appear at Lynn Magistrates’ Court on June 13.
