Panther Brewery’s missing panther has been found. At 7 am this morning, a resident woke brewery owner Martin James saying she had spotted the wooden carved animal outside the police station in Reepham’s Market Place.
Mr James and his wife Diana rushed down to collect him before he decided to go for another walk.
The panther went missing at the end of last month’s Reepham Beer Festival at Stimpson’s Piece pavilion.
The brewery had offered a reward for information leading to the return of the beast, which was specially created last year by Wild Chain Carvers.
The panther is now safely back in his lair.
