A spokesman for Seventeen said: "The incident we experienced over the weekend was a horrific, mindless and premeditated act.
"It was damaging and violating to something we have worked so hard to build.

"We are working with the local businesses and the community to identify the individuals involved."
The CCTV footage shows the suspect smashing the windows of the building and running down the street.
A spokeswoman for Norfolk Constabulary said an investigation is under way.

Staff have since been working hard to get the shop ready for reopening and they plan to resume normal trading from 10am on Friday.
"It takes more than some broken glass to stop us,” the spokesman added.
