Police are stepping up patrols after an increase in commercial burglaries in Arnold and Gedling.
Police say they are now also working closely with CCTV operators as they investigate the burglaries.
The new measures have been introduced after burglars smashed windows and attacked doors to gain entry into shops and businesses in the areas between August 2 and 13.
Neighbourhood Inspector Chris Pearson, of Nottinghamshire Police, said they are working ‘relentlessly’ to track down offenders.

He said: “I’d like to reassure local businesses and members of the public that we are doing everything we possibly can to catch those responsible and bring them to justice.
“We are committed to reducing burglary and we continue to work very closely with partners including CCTV operators at Gedling Borough Council and local businesses to tackle this crime type.
“We have also increased visible patrols in these areas to help prevent further burglaries and provide support and advice to victims.
“The impact of burglary on local businesses can be severe and far-reaching which is why we treat all reports seriously and we will continue our relentless work to identify and locate offenders and get them to answer for their selfish crimes in court.”
