A call from a member of the public led to police arresting a man in Bulwell who was wanted in connection with a house burglary in Ilkeston and on recall to prison.
Police were alerted by a caller at about 12.30pm yesterday (Sunday 26 April 2020) to say the man was at a property on Hemlock Gardens. The caller had been aware the man was wanted by the police having seen a media appeal published previously by the force.
Officers attended and arrested a 38-year-old man within the address. He remains in police custody.
Superintendent Mat Healey, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This good arrest highlights how we rely on community intelligence to provide information to us and that we will take action.
“I’d also like to remind the public that they can make reports to us anonymously and, if they tip us off, we can use a variety of methods to investigate their suspicions without them needing to feel involved or like they have put themselves at risk.”
If you have noticed anything suspicious in your street, please do not hesitate to contact Nottinghamshire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
