Three men were arrested after a suspected stolen car was used to ram a police vehicle.
Officers in an unmarked vehicle spotted the car in Ridgeway Walk, Top Valley, at 8.30pm on Thursday and followed it for a short distance.
As the vehicle was followed through Henning Gardens and onto Chevin Gardens, it was reversed into the police car several times.
A quick-thinking police driver was then able to pin the vehicle against a fence and trap the occupants inside.
Multiple car keys, tools, numberplates and other items of interest were recovered.
Three men, aged 42, 41 and 34 have been arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle and going equipped to steal.
The younger man has also been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, driving without insurance and driving whilst disqualified.
Detective Chief Inspector Claire Gould, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“This was a great bit of work by the officers involved – particularly the advanced driver who acted so quickly and decisively to bring this incident to a safe conclusion and protect the public from harm.”
Anyone with additional information about this incident is asked to call 101 quoting incident 634 of 23 January 2025.
