Just a week after reopening due to a flood, a Harrogate shop has had its windows smashed by bricks and boulders.
The electrical goods store, Crampton & Moore, on Commercial Street is boarded up following the incident in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Store manager Chris Johnson said he received a call at 2.15am on Saturday to say the glass had be smashed.
He said North Yorkshire Police called within 15 minutes about the incident.
The window pane needs replacing but thanks to metal grills behind it, nothing was stolen.
The extent of the damage at the electrical shop.
Mr Johnson said:
“The whole thing was caught on CCTV. Luckily they didn’t get anything so it’s just a case of waiting for the repair this week.”
The shop had only reopened on Monday last week after the eight-week flood closure.
