Stolen 'lethal' chemical returned
A potentially lethal chemical stolen from a factory in Norfolk has been anonymously returned.

Thieves took 54 litres of Hydrofluoric acid - used for industrial cleaning - from the factory in Dereham in the early hours of Wednesday.

Police said the chemical was returned in the early hours of Friday morning.

The acid was left at the factory after police warned it can cause deep tissue burns if it touches skin and gives off strong fumes which could prove fatal.
