A man has been charged with shop theft after 24 bottles of water were taken from a coffee shop at the Queen’s Medical Centre on Derby Road.
Officers were called to the hospital at 11.42pm following reports that a person had taken items from a café inside the site.
After reviewing CCTV footage, officers identified a suspect, who was arrested a short time later.
Luke Jamal Osei, aged 41, of County Close, Beeston, has been charged with one count of shop theft. He was released on bail and is due to appear at Nottinghamshire Magistrates’ Court on 17 December.
Sergeant Heather Harding, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Shop theft is not a victimless crime.
“It can have a significant impact on businesses and is also frustrating for shoppers and members of our community.
“This was an excellent piece of work by the officers involved, and I would also like to thank the members of the public who provided information that helped us secure an arrest.”
