Arrests after cigarettes, alcohol and cash stolen

Three men have been arrested after cigarettes, alcohol and cash were stolen in Nottingham.

A crowbar was used to smash through the shutters and glass into a business unit in Foxhall Road, Forest Fields, where a "significant" quantity of items were taken just before 01:30 BST on Sunday, police said.

The vehicle used in the crime, which police say was stolen from the St Ann's area, was seen driving at speed on Aspley Lane, then spotted at a different address, near where the items taken in the burglary were found.

Three men - aged 40, 41, and 41 - were arrested on suspicion of burglary and remained in custody.

Police said officers located the vehicle parked near St Michaels Avenue, where they attended an address nearby.

The stolen items were found at the address, they added.

Det Insp Kayne Rukas said: "These individuals thought they could get away with targeting a local business in the dead of night.

"Not only did they cause a significant amount of damage to the property, but they also stole a significant amount of items from within, using a car that had been reported stolen."
