A small black box was stuck to the bottom of a car at the centre of a bomb scare which brought the city to a standstill, an exclusive photograph has revealed.
After returning to his black Audi parked on Bank Plain in Norwich, Besnik Ademaj was warned not to get into his vehicle by a witness who claimed she saw a man put something under it.
The police were called and a shaken Mr Ademaj waited while the authorities, including police and a bomb squad, dealt with the mysterious object on Thursday, September 11.

The photograph raises further questions as the mystery deepens over what exactly was discovered.
There is speculation as to whether the device is a tracker that was planted on the bottom of Mr Ademaj’s car.
He believes that someone is out to get him and described the event as an assassination attempt or said the item may have been a tracking device.
Mr Ademaj added he is now terrified to get in another car and described the incident as “life-changing”.

The pressure is now on Norfolk Police to reveal more details about the investigation and to reassure the wider public.
The force has since confirmed in a statement that the item placed under the car was not explosive.
A constabulary spokeswoman said: “Assisted by the Explosive Ordnance Device team, the device was recovered. It was reviewed and not believed to be explosive. No one was injured.”
