Five teenagers were arrested after police tracked down a stolen car in Colwick.
The Mercedes had been taken from outside a property in Gordon Road, St Ann’s, on Wednesday (27) afternoon.
The vehicle was detected several hours later and tracked as it made its way around Nottingham. It was pulled over shortly before 3.45am in Hotspur Drive, Colwick.
Several suspects fled from the car, sparking an immediate search of the local area.
Five boys, four aged 15 and one aged 16, were arrested on suspicion of theft.
The car has been recovered and will be further examined later today.
Inspector John Lees, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This was a great bit of work by officers and control room staff to locate this stolen car and bring it to a safe stop.
“We are still at the early stages of our investigation but would like to speak to anyone who saw any suspicious activity in Gordon Road, St Ann’s, yesterday afternoon between around 3pm and 6pm when the theft was first reported to us.
“Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting incident 578 of 27 October 2021.”
