A suspected burglar was tracked down and arrested by police after being spotted by the public running across a park in Woodthorpe.
Officers were called at 4.05pm on Wednesday (3) after a man was seen running across Woodthorpe Park in possession of several items.
Another call was made just ten seconds later when a member of the public reported a break-in at an address in The Rise, Sherwood.
Less than ten minutes later, a suspect was detained in the garden of a house near Oxton Avenue with the help of a police dog handler.
A 44-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of burglary.
Detective Sergeant Rob Palethorpe, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This was a great bit or work by officers on the ground, our call handlers and the quick-thinking members of the public who called this in so quicky.
“As a result of their actions a suspect was in cuffs very quickly.”
