Hucknall Brawl Ends in Triple Arrest with Cannabis and Cash Haul
Police swooped after a violent scrap broke out outside a restaurant on Hucknall Road, Sherwood, Sunday night (17 July). The fight, reported just before 8pm, left a delivery driver battered with cuts and bruises to his face and hands.
Chase Leads to Radford Stop
Officers quickly tracked a car heading into Radford linked to the incident. A search of the vehicle and its three occupants uncovered a stash of cash and clothes smeared with cannabis leaves. Shockingly, a video was playing on the car’s central console while it was being driven.
Three Men Busted on Multiple Charges
- A 25-year-old man was arrested for affray, criminal damage, cannabis cultivation, driving without insurance, and possession of criminal property.
- Another 25-year-old faces similar charges plus using a phone while driving and not wearing a seatbelt.
- A 36-year-old man was also taken into custody over affray, criminal damage, assault resisting arrest, and cannabis cultivation.
All three men remain in police custody as investigations continue.
