Police investigating the theft of a charity box have charged a suspect.
The box, which contained an unknown amount of money, was taken from a building in Curzon Street on 2 May.
Following CCTV enquiries, a suspect was identified and he was circulated as wanted on police systems.
The man was arrested in the early hours of Wednesday (25 June) after officers found him at the scene of a single-vehicle collision at a roundabout along the A46 at Stanton-on-the-Worlds.
Jelanie Scott, aged 37, of Stafford Avenue, Melton Mowbray, has been charged with theft by finding.
He was granted conditional bail and is due to appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on 11 July.
Inspector Paul Gummer, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“It is always disappointing when an individual steals a charity box for their own gain.
“I am pleased a suspect has been charged and that court proceedings can now proceed.”
