Earlier on Thursday, police were seen outside a motor vehicle repair business that remained open.

The Cromer site is about 1km away from Cromer High School, where convicted murderer Chris Dawson worked as a sports teacher in 1979.

The now 75-year-old was found guilty of murdering his wife Lynette Sims; however, her body has never been found following her disappearance in January 1982.
