Nottingham Man Arrested Over String of Thefts and Robbery Threat
Police are clamping down after a spate of crimes hit Nottingham city centre earlier this year. Cash was stolen from a flat on Upper Parliament Street on 12 April, and a bank card was swiped from a bar on Market Street back in February. The card’s owner was later informed it had been fraudulently used.
Teen Threatened in Hyson Green Incident
In a separate alarming case, a 17-year-old boy was reportedly threatened by a man demanding money and his phone in Noel Street, Hyson Green, on 30 March. This prompted an urgent police inquiry.

Police Vow Tough Action Against Crime
