The county's ambulance service says it has had its busiest January on record with a 12% increase in calls across the region.

In Norfolk and Cambridgeshire the figures were even higher with a 16% increase in calls.

The East of England Ambulance Service, external says despite the increase in demand, it reached more patients with potentially life-threatening conditions in eight minutes, but is urging the public to think carefully before dialling 999 as it's for emergency situations only.

A dog owner from King's Lynn has been ordered to have her four dogs destroyed after they killed two Chihuahuas. 

Jean Tuck was with her Chihuahuas in The Walks in King's Lynn when they were attacked and killed in December by four Staffordshire bull terrier-type dogs belonging to Dawn Jackson. 

Jackson admitted to King's Lynn Magistrates that her Staffordshire bull terriers had carried out the attack and was given a suspended six-week prison sentence and banned from keeping dogs for two years.  

Nicholas Churchill went on a two-hour rampage in the stolen dumper truck on July 20 last year.

During the ensuing police chase he:

• Rammed a police car on a roundabout near Snetterton
• Shunted two more cars on a forest track towards Santon Downham
• Drove down Brandon High Street, smashing bollards and crossing the market square
• Was eventually stopped on Thetford Road, close to his home

Churchill, who admitted dangerous driving, aggravated vehicle-taking and driving while unfit through drugs, was jailed for 14 months at Norwich Crown Court, and banned from driving for two years. 

An officer who was inside one of the police cars rammed by the truck, said in a statement read to the court: "I thought I was going to die, I was petrified and never felt anything like this before in my career... I believe the vehicle was so large and heavy it could have driven over our police car."

Nicholas Churchill, who has today been jailed for 14 months and banned from driving for two years, was followed by six police cars and a helicopter for two hours over more 37 miles (60km) across Norfolk and Suffolk in the stolen dumper truck.

The prosecution said after driving around the Norwich ring road, forcing cars to swerve out of his way, Churchill headed to the A11 dual carriageway.

Shoppers scattered as his truck careered down a high street and over a pedestrianised square before coming to a halt near his home in Brandon.

Lindsay Cox said, in mitigation: "It may not have been hot that day but it had been a period of very hot weather and the defendant, for what's it worth, had repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction at doing hot work in the hot cab of this vehicle.

"He was effectively told 'like it or lump it; carry on working or go home' and the red mist descended." Churchill's journey was finally halted near his home in Brandon, Suffolk.
