We recovered a large quantity of suspected stolen cable after a truck's tyres were stung by pursuing officers.

We were called in the early hours of Wednesday morning (21 October) after cabling was reported stolen from a site near Northampton.

A suspicious truck was identified shortly before 3.45am and followed from the scene by local officers.

As the vehicle made its way north towards Nottinghamshire, a plan was put in place to intercept it and bring it to a safe stop.

Shortly after 5am, the vehicle was successfully stopped using a tyre-deflating stinger device as it left the A46 and joined the A606.

After initially failing to stop, the driver pulled over and fled the scene along with three other suspects.

Three men were detained in quick succession by armed response officers Nottinghamshire officers, who are also advanced drivers trained in tactical pursuit and containment.

A fourth was tracked down and detained with the assistance of a police dog.

The four men, aged 36, 33, 30 and 29, were arrested on suspicion of theft and driving offences and have since been released on police bail pending further enquiries.

The truck and its contents were seized.

Detective Inspector Jamie Moore, our head of Roads Policing, said: "This was an excellent example of cross-border working, involving multiple officers on the ground working in partnership with control room colleagues.

"Our highly trained drivers are well practised in this kind of tactical pursuit and containment operation involving all types of vehicles.

"I am pleased that, in this case, they were able to bring this truck to a controlled stop, protect the public from harm and recover a large quantity of what we believe to be stolen cabling."

A number of people spent the night in custody and found themselves arrested on suspicion of affray after a fight broke out in the city centre.

The incident happened at 2.41am on Friday 23 October in St James' Street.

Nottingham City Council's CCTV team alerted our officers to the incident after a man was assaulted following an altercation outside a bar.

The victim was punched and kicked during the ordeal and has been sent to Queen's Medical Centre.

His condition is currently not believed to be life-threatening but he has sustained serious injuries to the head and nose. No weapons were used in the incident.

A number of people ran from the scene after the incident but were soon caught by our response officers.

Nine arrests have been made in total.

Four men, aged 22, two men, aged 19, one man, aged 45, one man aged 17, and one woman, aged 25, were arrested on suspicion of affray.

Chief Inspector Kylie Davies, who manages city centre policing, said: "This was a nasty and sustained attack by a large group of people following an altercation outside a bar.

"We simply will not tolerate violence in the city centre and that is why working with our colleagues in the city council we were able to apprehend nine suspects relatively quickly.

"If you come into the city centre to commit any sort of violence then we will use all the powers at our disposal to make sure you won't be allowed back in.

"The message couldn’t be clearer – our city centre CCTV is very good that you really don't have any place to hide, as this incident clearly demonstrates.

"The fast response from our officers not only ensured the victim was taken to hospital immediately, but we caught nine people in relation to this extremely serious offence."

This is all part of Operation Reclaim, a partnership approach to tackling the major problems affecting the city centre which includes violent incidents associated with the night-time economy.

An investigation is underway after three people were robbed of their mobile phones in and around Nottingham city centre.

Criminals have been using tactics such as 'asking to see your phone' or 'offering drugs' before snatching devices.

They will use threats of violence if victims refuse.

A man aged in his 40s was approached in Clumber Street by four men asking if he wanted any drugs, at 4am on 18 October.

He declined and continued to walk in the direction of Trinity Square, where they have intimidated him, kissed his face, and taken his mobile phone.

Later, he found that money had been taken from his bank account after apps were accessed on his phone.

Officers are also looking at two similar incidents where three to four men have used similar tactics in and around the city centre to take mobile phones over the last week.

Chief Inspector Kylie Davies, who leads policing in the city centre, said:

"Our intelligence suggests that this group are preying on people in the early hours of the morning, in and around the Clumber Street and Old Market Square area.

"While no members of the public have been seriously harmed, the intimidation has rightfully caused them to feel immensely distressed.

"This is an appalling crime. We carry our lives on our mobile phones.

"We are determined to catch this group as soon as possible. We have already launched an investigation and are building up a strong picture of who they are.

"We really want people to be vigilant, report any suspicious activity to us, and be conscious of your surroundings especially during Halloween.

"Remember, there is a 24-hour CCTV help point in Angel Row, near Old Market Square, with direct link to the control room if you need assistance quickly.

"We have informed both universities about this recent spate of crime and are working with them to ensure students are informed.

"Rest assured, we are doing everything we can to ensure they are caught."
