A 4X4 vehicle was seen leaving the scene.

Suffolk Police said an investigation was under way.

Strumming sensation Ed Sheeran played some of his latest hits for Jools and the gang last night as the show's landmark 50th series continued.

This included a performance of his absolute smash Shape of You.

But we're totally over that now after Harry Styles ended its 13-week reign at the top of the singles charts on Friday.

So here's his Irish folk classic Galway Girl instead (above), which he performed alongside an actual, real-life Irish band Beoga.

One man watching was not impressed but was hilariously put in his place by Ed's support band below.

Mr Sheeran was joined on the show by Syd from The Internet and Fleetwood Mac star Christine McVie amongst others.

You can watch the full extended Later with Jools Holland on BBC Two, Friday at 23:05.

Jolly had a run-in with the visitors heat leader Luke Bowen after Fen Tigers' number one Connor Mountain crashed in heat 13.

"I got involved in something that I probably shouldn't have done," said Jolly. "It was all handbags and all nothing. Five minutes afterwards we shook hands and made up, it's one of those things."

Volunteers from a Newmarket charity were out over the Easter weekend, taking furniture to people left in need after a fire in the town last week.

John Durrant, from Newmarket Open Door, said: "Quite a few people have been staying in hotels, one in Barton Mills, one in Newmarket, just trying to co-ordinate when they're going to move, what they might need, what we can try and help provide, what we can ask the local community help with."

More than 20 people were left homeless by the blaze in George Lambton Avenue.

The region has been put on an election footing for what will be known as the "Brexit Election". 

Theresa May made the surprise announcement this morning because opposition parties are undermining her team negotiating the best deal for the UK after leaving the European Union.

This election will be the Brexit election.

With most of the East of England voting to leave and already solidly Conservative, there are unlikely to be many surprises - but a few seats will be fiercely fought over.

Top of the list will be Cambridge where 74% of people voted to remain in the EU and Norwich South (59%). 

Both seats used to be held by the Liberal Democrats who will see this election as a second referendum. 

Both seats now have Labour MPs who were in the remain camp, but with the official Labour party policy being to support Article 50, both Daniel Zeichner and Clive Lewis will have to fight hard. 

North Norfolk will be another interesting one. Lib Dem health spokesman Norman Lamb has always been able to command a strong personal vote, but 59% of people in North Norfolk voted to leave and Mr Lamb only has a majority of 4,000. 

Clacton's one to watch

It's MP Douglas Carswell left UKIP last month and said he'd stand as an independent. That could be a challenge in itself, but he'll also have to face businessman Aaron Banks, a big UKIP donor who has declared that he will stand against Carswell. 

The Conservative association in Chelmsford will have to find a new candidate as Sir Simon Burns has already announced that he would stand down at the next election. 

And will Sir Alan Haselhurst stand again in Saffron Walden? Last time some in his local party tried to deselect him because they thought he was too old. 

Hitchin and Harpenden is a seat which we don't normally pay much attention to, but it's held by arch euro sceptic Peter Lilley and in North Hertforshire there was a strong remain vote last year.
