Gas masks and army uniforms among items stolen from Notts antique store

A man has been arrested after original military badges, gas masks and old army uniforms were taken from an antiques store.

Officers have been investigating the burglary of a shop in Leeming Street, Mansfield which was discovered by a staff member.

It’s believed £300 worth of items, including cash from the register and limited edition coins, had been taken overnight on 21 April.

CCTV enquiries were conducted which led to an image of a suspect being circulated. A 30-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday (30 June).

Sergeant Carl Holland, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “We have been carrying out a series of enquires since the incident happened and we’re pleased that a man has now been arrested in connection to this incident.

“Burglaries can be extremely distressing and hugely impact on the business owner and wider community and we do everything we can to protect them from harm.

“We have a strong police presence in Mansfield town centre and have a series of operations, which include overnight plain-clothed activity, in a bid to keep the streets safe and catch offenders unawares.”
