A teenager has been arrested after a group of people were threatened with a weapon in the middle of a street.
Officers were called to Lyncroft, Eastwood, yesterday (10 October) after receiving reports of a group being threatened by a man with a knife shortly before 4.45pm.
Only hours earlier a robbery was also reported to have occurred in Plumptre Way, Eastwood, just before 1pm where a teenager was assaulted and money stolen from him.
An 18-year-old was arrested at the scene on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon and robbery.
He remains in custody as inquiries continue.
Detective Sergeant Charlotte Henson, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Our enquiries into what happened here are still ongoing but we do believe both incidents to be linked.
“As we say time and time again, this kind of behaviour will never be tolerated on our streets. We will investigate thoroughly and we will do all we can to bring any suspects before the courts.
“I would ask anyone who witnessed the incident and has any information no matter how small to get in touch with us.”
Anyone with any information, CCTV or mobile phone footage is asked to call 101, quoting incident number 561 of 10 October 2022, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
