Car Key Burglar Nabbed After Wollaton Crime Spree
Burglary Leads to Stolen Car and Fraud Charges
Detectives have charged Glynn Johnson, 35, from Radford, following a series of crimes stemming from a car key burglary in Nottingham city centre. After a break-in on Wollaton Street, Johnson allegedly snatched a purse, car keys, and bank cards.
The victim later found her bank cards had been fraudulently used. To make matters worse, her car was stolen from a nearby parking lot on the evening of May 28, 2022.
Rapid Police Response Nets Arrest
Thanks to swift action by Nottinghamshire Police, including the criminal investigation unit, Johnson was arrested just two days later. Further investigations uncovered additional offences, leading to multiple charges.
At Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on May 31, Johnson was charged with burglary, motor vehicle theft, three counts of fraud by false representation, criminal damage, and breaching a non-molestation order.
He has been remanded in custody and is due back in court on July 11, 2022.
Police Praise Teamwork and Dedication
“I’m pleased with the great work done on this case, involving colleagues from various departments,” said Detective Sergeant Nigel Malik of Nottinghamshire Police. “Our response officers’ quick actions led to the arrest, and CID’s intensive investigation brought these serious charges.”
“We know how distressing burglary, theft, and fraud are for victims. Tackling these crimes remains a top priority. Our dedicated teams continue to investigate and prevent crime with vigour.”

The force assures the public that efforts to reduce burglary and fraud are ongoing. Officers remain focused on bringing offenders to court swiftly and sharing crime prevention advice through burglary, fraud, CID, and neighbourhood policing squads.
“We want to reassure people that we work tirelessly to keep the community safe and bring suspects before the court as soon as possible,” Detective Sergeant Malik added.
