A shoplifter from Newstead was arrested during a day of action that saw officers thieves targeting Bestwood stores.
The local policing team carried out a series of patrols across the area to target those involved in retail crime on Monday (October 14).
This resulted in a series of arrests being made during the patrols.
One of these was shoplifting suspect Dwaine Birch, who was stopped in Beckhampton Road.
The 35-year-old, of Tilford Road, Newstead, was subsequently charged with three counts of shop theft.
Birch has been released on bail ahead of an appearance at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on November 14.
Inspector Paul Ferguson, neighbourhood inspector for the City North area, said: “The teams made multiple significant arrests between them on their respective patrols, which will have a positive impact on demand and crime levels, both here in the City North and beyond.
“Targeting acquisitive crime, like shop thefts and burglaries, is a policing priority, so it was great to see the teams’ efforts result in several charges.”
