Police arrested a man after responding to reports of a burglary in progress at a Nottingham bar.
Response officers were called to The Southbank Bar, in Friar Lane, at 5.50am on Wednesday (12 March) after a member of staff arrived at the premises and discovered a burglar inside.
The officers arrived within a few minutes and arrested a 40-year-old man on suspicion of burglary. He was then taken into custody for questioning.
An external door had been damaged and there was evidence to suggest the burglar had consumed a number of alcoholic drinks from within the premises.
