Police Continue Investigation Into Norwich JCB Ram-Raid Incident

NORWICH, Norfolk — Detectives from Norfolk Constabulary are continuing their investigation into an audacious ram-raid that targeted a local store in Norwich. The incident occurred when a group of suspects used a heavy JCB digger to force entry into the retail premises, causing substantial structural damage to the storefront in an attempt to target the premises.

The raid, which took place in late January 2026, has prompted a series of inquiries. Police have revisited the scene and reviewed extensive closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage from surrounding businesses. Despite these efforts, investigators confirmed that the ram-raiders remain at large months after the crime took place, leading to renewed appeals for public assistance.

Local business owners have expressed concern over the boldness of the attack and the significant cost of repairs. Norfolk police are urging anyone who may have witnessed suspicious activity, or who has dashcam footage from the area on the night of the raid, to contact them immediately or reach out anonymously via Crimestoppers.
