Suspect Charged Following Charity Box Thefts
A suspect has been charged and is due to appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Friday 1 May after charity donation boxes were stolen from a mosque on Victory Road and a supermarket in Beeston. Officers were alerted to the incidents in March, and the suspect was subsequently arrested, charged with theft, and released on bail to appear in court.

Partnership Work – Villa Street, Beeston
We are actively working with housing partners to address reports of anti-social behaviour in the Villa Street area. Individuals responsible have been visited and warned that further incidents may result in enforcement action from the appropriate agency. CCTV is being utilised to deter crime and ASB, and reassurance has been provided to residents around reporting concerns to both the police and housing teams. This partnership approach is key to achieving longer-term improvements.

News
We would like to recognise some outstanding work by NPT PC Harry Brown, who made an arrest while off duty. Harry was out shopping with his family when he spotted a prolific shoplifter he knew was wanted by police for several theft offences. Despite having no police equipment with him — including no handcuffs — Harry acted decisively and safely detained the suspect. Harry’s commitment and bravery demonstrate his dedication to keeping our communities safe, both on and off duty. We are extremely proud of his actions. For further details, see the link.
