Police interrupted a suspected burglar after a man was spotted climbing a building.
Officers were called to Raleigh Street, Radford, on Thursday evening when reports came in that a man had gained access to a fourth-floor balcony and was attempting to enter the building.
A member of the public detained the suspect on the balcony floor before officers arrived at the scene.
A 21-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of burglary.
Sergeant Rebecca Thomas, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“While we would never encourage the public to put themselves at risk, I would like to praise the man who aided officers in detaining the suspect.
“Burglary is a distressing and invasive crime that can cause a great deal of fear in communities. For that reason we take it very seriously and investigate every occurrence thoroughly.”
