Officers did a great job responding so quickly to this incident, detaining a suspect and preventing the situation from escalating,” said Nottinghamshire Police Temporary Detective Sergeant Georgie Gallagher.

I’d like to reassure the public the force continues to work hard to keep people safe and drive down this type of offending and will robustly investigate reports of burglary made to the service.
