A shop in Reepham has been officially reopened 16 months after it was damaged in a ram-raid.
 
A “teleporter” ripped into the front of Johnsons of Reepham in April last year, and a cash machine was removed before the stolen vehicle was set alight in the street.
 
Owing to planning regulations, it took nearly a year to start repair work on the front of the listed building in Market Place, which has remained open for business.
