Detectives are appealing for information following a reported sighting of a firearm on a bus.
A call was made to the police after a passenger was allegedly seen to be in possession of a weapon.
An unknown man was reportedly seen to hold a firearm while in conversation with two other people.
Nobody was hurt or threatened during the incident, which happened around 4.30pm on 9 October.
The reported firearm sighting was made on the 89 bus, which travels from Nottingham city centre to Edwards Lane, City Hospital and Sherwood.
Police are now appealing to the public for help in identifying the man in these pictures, who they’d like to speak to urgently.
Detective Constable Natalie Gooderham, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“As the public rightly expects, we will always treat any reported sighting of a firearm seriously.
“While nobody was hurt or threatened in this incident, we’d clearly like to establish what actually happened.
“On that note, we can now release these three images of a man we’d like to speak to urgently as part of our inquiries.
“If you’re the man in these pictures, we’d ask that you make yourself known to us, so that we can ask you a few questions.
“Likewise, if anyone recognises this person, we’d ask that you share that information with us too.”
Information can be reported to the police directly on 101, quoting incident 559 of 9 October 2026, while Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.
