A man leaving a bar on Alfreton Road in Radford experienced a terrifying ordeal when he was confronted by a group who threatened him at knifepoint and forced him to hand over his luxury watch, valued at over £13,000.
Following a relentless investigation, Nottinghamshire Police arrested two men, aged 21 and 25, on Monday 20 February on suspicion of robbery. The following day, a third man, aged 25, was arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods linked to the incident.
The search for the stolen £13,000 Rolex watch is ongoing as officers continue their efforts to clamp down on violent crime in the community.
Detective Inspector Chris Berryman of Nottinghamshire Police said, “I’d like to praise officers for the persistence they’ve shown while investigating this shocking incident. As a force, we’re completely opposed to any form of violence taking place in our communities and are determined to eradicate invasive crimes such as robberies from our streets. Nobody has the right to threaten people and take items that don’t belong to them – this behaviour simply won’t be tolerated.”
He added, “We have now arrested three suspects as part of this investigation, but our inquiries are still ongoing, so we’d ask anyone with any further information to get in touch with us.”
Members of the public who have information are urged to contact Nottinghamshire Police on 101 quoting incident 839 of 4 February 2023. Alternatively, information can be reported anonymously to Crimestoppers at 0800 555 111.
