Police have arrested a suspected burglar after a break-in during the early hours of Monday (29) morning in Carlton.
Officers attended New Row around 2am following reports a front window had been smashed at a property.
The victim also said he had been threatened by a man through his letterbox and had fled into a neighbouring garden to escape.
Officers began searching the area armed with a description of the offender.
A suspect was located a short time later in Carlton Hill and detained.
During the arrest, one officer also reported being racially abused.
A 28-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of burglary and causing racially aggravated alarm or distress.
Inspector Alice Bartle, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Home break-ins of this nature are taken very seriously by the force because of the impact we know they have on victims.
“Officers have attended the scene and worked efficiently to both support the victim and quickly track down a suspect.
“We won’t tolerate racist abuse of officers and anyone suspected of this sort of behaviour can always expect a robust response from the force.”
