A man has been arrested in Arnold for alleged drug and knife offences.
Officers were alerted by a caller who saw an appeal on Facebook where police asked for the public’s help to trace a man.
As a direct result of information received, police detained a man in Arnold on Saturday (29) afternoon.
Jason Kelley, 37, of no fixed address, appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Monday (31) charged with possession of a knife in a public place, possession of Class A drugs and going equipped for theft.
Police Constable Andrew Selwood, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This positive result highlights how we rely on community intelligence to provide information to us and that we will take action.
“I’d also like to remind the public that they can make reports to us anonymously and, if they tip us off, we can use a variety of methods to investigate their suspicions without them needing to feel involved or as if they have put themselves at risk.”

The Fearless website offers young people non-judgemental advice so they can make informed decisions about reporting crime. The service also engages with and educates young people about the consequences of their choices around crime.
