A suspected shoplifter was arrested by officers who spotted him while conducting patrols in Nottingham.
Police launched an investigation after numerous tubs of ice cream – totalling £104 in value – were stolen from Tesco Express, in Upper Parliament Street, on 12 April.
A suspect was identified from CCTV footage and his image circulated to policing colleagues.
Neighbourhood officers made an arrest after spotting the suspect near Radford Road tram stop while conducting patrols on Monday this week (2 September).
Seyed Mohammad Hosseini Rechi, of no fixed address, has been charged with theft.
The 29-year-old has been bailed and is due to appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on 19 September.
PC Harry Johnson, of the City Centre neighbourhood policing team, said:
“Shoplifting isn’t a victimless crime. These offences hurt businesses, affect people’s livelihoods, and can ultimately result in shoppers having to pay more for items as prices go up as a result.
“We will continue to carry out proactive patrols as part of our ongoing work to take appropriate enforcement action against offenders.”
