Sergeant Speaks Out on Impact and Police Response
“These kinds of thefts hit victims hard and push up insurance costs for everyone,” said Sergeant Glenford Spencer of Nottinghamshire Police. “The response and firearms officers involved did an outstanding job. I’m glad two suspects are now in custody and a bike has been returned to its rightful owner.”
