All three have been bailed and are due to appear at Mansfield Magistrates’ Court on 21 June 2023.

Sergeant Lou Ellis, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Tackling shoplifting is a local priority for us and we are working hard with our partners to reduce the impact on businesses.

“As well as arresting and charging suspects, we are also working with the courts to ban persistent offenders from our major shopping areas.

“I’d like to thank PC Matt Thomas for his tenacity on this case so far and I’m pleased these suspects are now due to appear before magistrates.”
