A man has been charged in connection with a string of shop thefts in Netherfield.
A 39-year-old man from Colwick, appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court today (Thursday, December 10, 2020) facing six charges of shop theft and a charge of common assault.
He was bailed to appear at the same court on January 25, 2021.
The charges relate to reported thefts of meat from the Co-op store in Victoria Road between November 12 and December 5.
It’s alleged that a member of staff was also threatened during one of the reported incidents.
Inspector Chris Pearson, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “These charges come on the back of some good proactive work to address shop theft in the Gedling South area in the run up to Christmas.
“We are working together with retailers and Gedling Borough Council to identify offenders and will be carrying out further operations this month. Nottinghamshire Police takes these types of offences seriously and will always strive to put suspects before the courts.”
