Police Investigate Suspicious Activity But Rule Out Serious Burglaries
Nottinghamshire Police are probing three reports of suspicious behaviour and one attempted burglary from Friday, 10 February 2023. Despite social media chatter stirring panic about violent break-ins in the Bakersfield area, officers are keen to calm fears.
Chief Inspector Sets Record Straight
Chief Inspector Chris Pearson said:
“We’ve been alerted to concerns about aggravated burglaries where homes were allegedly broken into. I want to reassure the public that no such incidents have been recorded recently. However, we are aware of four other suspicious events from Friday and have boosted patrols in response.”
He encouraged residents to speak directly to officers if worried and to share any useful info or footage.
