Two Suspects Busted in Foiled Arnold Road Break-In
Nottinghamshire Police swooped on suspects caught red-handed trying to break into a business on Arnold Road, Old Basford.
Quick Response Cracks Case
Officers arrived at the scene just after 9pm on Wednesday, 19 July, to find a cut padlock on the compound gate – but the gate itself was still shut. A thorough search of the site, backed by the Operational Support team, spotted two figures making a break through a different gate.
The suspects made a run for Fenton Road, but officers on foot quickly caught and detained them nearby.
Stolen Van and Tools Recovered
A deeper search uncovered a van parked with its engine running. Inside the footwell lay an angle grinder. Further checks revealed the van was stolen from South Yorkshire.
Arrests Made – Investigation Ongoing
- A 36-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy were arrested on suspicion of attempted burglary and vehicle theft.
“Thanks to the alertness of our officers, we were ultimately able to disrupt a potential burglary, arrest two suspects, and recover a stolen vehicle,” said Chief Inspector Chris Pearson.
“Commercial break-ins like this hit people’s livelihoods hard and won’t be tolerated. Our teams worked brilliantly together to stop this crime in its tracks.
“Our investigation continues. Anyone with info should call 101 quoting incident 760 of 19 July 2023 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
