Officers investigating the theft of cash from a bingo hall want to speak to this man.
Police were notified following reports an individual had reached over the counter and snatched bundles of cash.
A member of staff at the bingo hall, in Gala Way, Bestwood, was moving more than £1,500 into the safe when the incident happened.
Seeing they’d turned their back for a few seconds, the opportunistic thief decided to strike – grabbing the cash and fleeing through the door.
The incident reportedly happened around 9.30pm on 19 June, with the police contacted soon after.
Officers have been investigating the theft since then and can now release two images of a man they’d like to speak to.
Sergeant Alex Piggott, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“This was sadly a prime example of the opportunistic nature of thieves, with this cash snatched the second the staff member turned around.
“We’re clearly keen to return this stolen cash to the business targeted and also catch the person responsible for taking it.
“On that note, we believe the person pictured has information that could really assist our investigation, so we’d ask them to make themselves known to us so we can ask them some questions.
“We’d also appeal to anyone who recognises this man to share these details with the police immediately.”
Information can be shared with the police directly by calling 101, quoting incident 846 of 19 June 2026, while Crimestoppers can alternatively be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.
