As part of Norfolk Police’s Project Servator operation, the two men, in their late teens, were apprehended by officers at the airport near Crawley early on Thursday morning in connection with an incident in Thetford on March 21.

They appeared at Norwich Magistrates’ Court on Friday morning, where they pleaded guilty to the charges.

They were taken to Wymondham Police Investigation Centre for questioning.

The pair were released on conditional bail to appear at Norwich Crown Court on April 22 for sentencing.
