Emma posted on social media this morning: "Didn't think the last 2 days could get any worse." She said the thefts were the "icing on the cake" and added: "We are already struggling to make ends meet without you thinking its OK to help yourself. Does anyone know who these are please?"

An image captured on CCTV was also added to the post.

Emma later told the Lynn News: "The person who did it is now known on Facebook and has said he was going to come in and pay me today. He reckons he's coming in this afternoon."
