They are thought to both work at the premises, in Hellesdon. No one else required medical attention, although initially it was feared that there had been "a number of casualties", the police said. 

 

Officers for the Norfolk Constabulary have road blocks in place at Spar Road to the junction with Vulcan Road North and Vulcan Road South and the bottom of Concorde Road as they investigate the scene.
