Nottinghamshire Police have stepped up their patrols in a residential area following a rise in car theft reports. As part of the force's crackdown, two suspects were arrested within the space of a few minutes in Edwalton.
The car was quickly pulled over and a suspect on board was detained, at which point officers also noticed another vehicle that aroused their suspicions. After witnessing the other car – which was at a junction only a couple of hundred metres away – suddenly turn off into Flawforth Avenue, police started to follow.The driver of the car then quickly abandoned the vehicle and tried to flee on foot but didn’t get far before they were detained in nearby Loughborough Road, police said.
“As part of this, our officers have stepped up targeted patrols of the area, in a bid to deter this type of criminality, respond to reports quicker and hopefully catch offenders in the act too, with this work leading to three arrests in the space of the last month. This proactive work will continue going forward and we hope it provides the public with some reassurance about just how seriously we take all reports of vehicle theft.
