A suspect has been charged after officers quickly responded to reports of a man trying car doors.
Officers on patrol nearby responded to residents concerns and within minutes had made an arrest in Mount Avenue, Worksop, at around 5.15am on Sunday 6 March.
Daniel Kirkwood, aged 34, has now been charged with vehicle interference.
Kirkwood, of Prince Charles Road, Worksop, has been released on bail and is due to appear at Mansfield Magistrates’ Court on 5 April.
Inspector Hayley Crawford, district commander for Bassetlaw, said: “This was a great example of on-the-spot policing by our officers who were on scene within minutes after the incident was called in.
“It is important that the public continue to report any concerns they may have to us by either calling 101 or speaking to one of our officers patrolling in the area. Thanks to reports made by members of the public we have been able to charge a man in connection with this incident.
“I would like to thank the members of the public who called us to report their suspicions and I hope this gives them reassurance that we treat any concerns raised to us seriously and will act as quickly as we can.”
