Burglary suspects detained after cars reported stolen

A pair of suspects were arrested a little more than an hour after two cars were reported stolen.

Police were called at 4.24am today (Tuesday) after the vehicles were taken during a break-in at a property in Georgia Drive, Redhill.

Other items were also stolen including a games console and a mobile phone.

Officers on routine patrol stopped another car in Oxclose Lane around 5.30am and found suspected stolen property inside.

Two men, aged 23 and 20, were arrested on suspicion of burglary and remain in police custody.

One of the missing vehicles was recovered later in the day.

Detective Sergeant Joanne Eaton, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:

“This was a very upsetting experience for the victims and a very good bit of work by the officers involved, who spotted a vehicle they believed to be uninsured before pulling it over.

“One of the vehicles has now been recovered and our investigation into what happened will continue.”

Any additional witnesses are asked to call 101 quoting incident 61 of 21 May 2024.
