A man has been charged following the theft of an ice cream van.
Officers from Nottinghamshire Police were called just after 1am yesterday (3 September) to a report that an ice cream van had been stolen in Bobbers Mill Road, Bobbers Mill.
Gavin Fouracres, 22, of Briar Gate in Long Eaton, has been charged with theft of a motor vehicle, driving without due care and attention, driving without insurance, driving otherwise than in accordance with a license and failing to stop for police.
Inspector Mark Stanley said: “The theft of commercial vehicles can have a really big impact on small business owners who often rely on them to make a living.
“I would ask the public to always be vigilant and report any suspicious activity around vehicles to us.”
Fouracres has been remanded in custody and will appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court today (4 September).
