It was reported 20th July 1822 that four villains had broken into the house of Mrs. West, at Costessey on 10th July. They were heard by a maid and James Edwards, a thatcher living next door. He attacked the would-be thieves with a bludgeon and forced them away. He was able to identify three of them, John Abel and Francis Ploughman, two old and notorious offenders, and George Warden. The following day warrants were issued and the three were arrested at the house of John Abel (the house formerly being the Shoulder of Mutton). On Friday 12th July they were committed to the Castle by the Magistrate E. D. Payne Esq.
