Nottinghamshire Police chief constable Rob Griffin provides reassurance over potential protests tonight in West Bridgford.
Assistant Chief Constable Rob Griffin said: “I understand that people are concerned about what they have been hearing on social media about planned activity in and around the West Bridgford area this evening.
“I would urge anybody of thinking of attending this address not to do so.
“I want to reassure people that this all seems to emanate from a Telegram message where a West Bridgford location was identified.
“I want to stress that this is an elderly’s person home address, and I can confirm that there is no immigration service running from this address.
“We have also received some intelligence that groups are planning to meet at the Ruddington Tram Stop who are seemingly intent on preventing any attack on this address.
“I would reassure those groups that there is no need to do so because we have prepared a policing operation should it be required.
“The public can expect to see a highly visible policing presence in this area and also across other parts of the city as a precaution.
“We have been talking to our communities throughout the week and we have and will continue to support places of worship.
“Nottinghamshire is a perfectly safe place to live, work and visit and I would advise people to go about their usual activities this evening without fear.
