A man has this week appeared in court after a vast amount of jewellery was stolen during house burglaries in Mapperley.
Police carried out inquiries, including checking CCTV footage, after reports of two break-ins which happened in the Spring Lane area, on March 6 and 27, 2026.
Further inquiries led to a suspect being arrested in the Hucknall area in connection with the incidents.
Jesse Blacknell, aged 39, of Chatsworth Drive, Hucknall, was subsequently charged with two counts of burglary.
He appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday (7) and was remanded on conditional bail until his next appearance at Nottingham Crown Court on May 5, 2026.
PC David Williams, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “We understand the significant impact that burglary can have on victims.
“That’s why the force treats all burglary reports very seriously and continues to work hard to prevent and reduce these types of crimes as well as supporting victims.
“As shown in this instance, we will investigate reports and relentlessly pursue those believed to be responsible for this sort of upsetting criminality in our communities.”
