Vital medication, cash, a mobile phone and car keys were taken during a burglary believed to have happened whilst a family was sleeping.
A passer-by saw that the boot was open on a car as they were walking to work early in the morning and alerted the family.
They then realised a number of items had been taken from the house, but no suspect was in sight.
Officers attended the address in Farrendale Close, Forest Town and have been conducting enquiries and working hard to establish the circumstances of the incident ever since.
A 24-year-old man of no fixed address, has been charged with burglary in connection with the incident, believed to have taken place between 5am and 7am on Monday 19 October 2020.
He has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Nottingham Crown Court on 8 September 2021.
Detective Sergeant Andy Hall, of the Nottinghamshire Police burglary team, said: “Officers have remained committed to their investigation and as a result a man has now been charged in connection with the incident.
“We completely understand the impact burglary can have on victims, losing potentially sentimental items as well as having their privacy breached in a place they should feel safest. This is why we will spare no effort to understand the circumstances around any such reports that come in to us.
