Three arrested after warehouse break-in

Three suspected burglars were soon custody after thousands of pounds worth of goods were stolen from a warehouse.

Police were called to Concord Way, Mansfield, shortly before 8.15pm yesterday (Tuesday) evening after a break-in was detected.

Officers arrived on the scene and immediately intercepted a pick-up truck containing a large number of boxes.

The vehicle was then abandoned in Enterprise Road and several suspects fled from the scene.

Three people – a 33 year-old man, a 27-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy – were found in the garden of a property in Chesterfield Road and arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary.

One of the men was also arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage to a police car.

All three remain in police custody and the stolen items will be returned.

Detective Sergeant Nathan Bigham, of Nottinghamshire Police’s burglary team, said: “Local response officers did a great job here and were very quickly on the scene of this break-in.

“Thanks to their tenacity we were able to bring three suspects into custody and recover a large amount of property.

“Break-ins of this nature can have a significant impact on local businesses and will always generate a very quick response.”

Anyone with additional information is asked to call 101 quoting incident 640 of 1 August 2023.
