A man has appeared in court after a Jaguar X-Type was stolen from a driveway following a car key burglary.
Officers received a report that a suspect had entered the victim’s address and took the car key before driving off in the vehicle. The car was later found abandoned.
Following enquiries a police arrested a man in connection with the burglary which happened at a property in Haddon Street, Sutton-in-Ashfield, during the early hours of 18 November 2021.
Deacon Jones, aged 18, from Gardiner Terrace, Sutton-in-Ashfield, appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Thursday (25 November 2021) charged with burglary and theft of a motor vehicle.
He was remanded in custody and is next due to appear at Nottingham Crown Court on 23 December.
Detective Inspector Nick Hall, from Nottinghamshire Police, said: “The force treats burglary seriously and continues to work hard to prevent and detect these types of crimes.
“We understand how upsetting burglaries can be for residents which is why tackling and reducing burglary remains a priority for the force.
“Reports are investigated and through the effective use of our dedicated burglary, CID and neighbourhood policing teams we continue to target offenders as well as sharing crime prevention advice to prevent burglaries from happening in the first place.
“We are working tirelessly to drive down burglary and I want to reassure people that we always endeavour to put suspects before the court at the earliest opportunity.”
The force has two proactive burglary teams which are committed to tackling this type of crime as well as supporting victims and their relentless work has contributed towards a 31 per cent reduction in burglary across Nottinghamshire over the last financial year (year to June 2021).
Nottinghamshire Police also recently appointed a specialist burglary reduction officer to help prevent offences from happening.
