A Kenilworth jewellers has reopened following a break-in over the weekend.
James Moore Jewellers on Warwick Road and Tesco Express on Leyes Lane were both broken into in the early hours of Sunday (18 October) morning.
While Tesco reopened on Monday, the town centre shop has remained shut since the incident.
But today (October 22), James Moore has confirmed it is welcoming customers again.
"We're delighted to announce that James Moore Jewellers is reopening following the recent break-in," the business said in an update on social media.
"We're taking appointments today, and we'll be fully open as normal from tomorrow! We can't wait to welcome you all back into the store.
"The past few weeks have been challenging, and there's been a huge amount of hard work behind the scenes to get everything ready.
"We'd like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has helped us get back up and running. To our incredible team, thank you for your time, effort and dedication.
"To everyone who has supported us along the way, and to our wonderful customers, thank you for your patience, kind messages and understanding throughout this time. It has genuinely meant so much to us.
"We're incredibly grateful for the support we've received and so proud of how everyone has pulled together."
According to Kenilworth Watch, thieves "prized open the shutters and smashed the glass front door" to gain entry to the jewellers. They then stole a substantial amount of jewellery and fled on bicycles.
At Tesco Express, they cut through the shutters at the front, then disabled the smoke screen once inside and forced entry to the rear office containing the tills and stole a large amount of cash.
Warwickshire Police has appealed for witnesses and information.
