A suspect from Carlton has been charged in connection with a string of 14 shop thefts as police continue efforts to crack down on retail crime.
A 33-year-old man was arrested in the Carlton area last Tuesday (4) by officers investigating raids at the Co-op store in Westdale Lane West, Mapperley, between February 11 and 2 July 2023.
Daniel Whitchurch, aged 33, of Portland Road, Carlton, was subsequently released on conditional bail and is due to appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on July 20 2023.
Inspector Mark Stanley, district commander for Gedling, said: “We know the costly impact shoplifting can have on our local communities and businesses.
“I would like to reassure our local retailers that we will continue to proactively target those who commit offences of this nature, and we will continue to offer our support to local businesses to protect them from shop theft and to prevent and drive down this kind of criminality.”
