A man has been arrested after two people were spotted on the roof of a derelict hospital shrouded in thick fog.
Police were called to the former Lowestoft Hospital in Tennyson Road at around 10.25pm on Monday following reports of a suspected burglary.
The incident unfolded as a thick blanket of fog descended on the town.
A police spokesman said: “We were called to the site at 10.25pm after reports of a suspected burglary by two males who were seen on the roof.
“One has been arrested. Still in custody.”
It is the latest instance of disorder at the abandoned hospital, which has become a magnet for trespassers and urban explorers in recent months.
Lowestoft Hospital closed for good in December 2016 and has now stood derelict for almost a decade.
Police have repeatedly been called to the site, where youngsters have previously scaled the roof, ripped off tiles and thrown them across the grounds.
The abandoned building has previously been described as “extremely dangerous”, with warnings issued over unstable structures, broken glass, exposed wiring and unsafe materials.
