We are appealing for information after a woman was struck by a car which failed to stop at the scene.

The victim was using a zebra crossing in St Ann's Well Road, St Ann's, Nottingham, when the silver Audi car collided with her.

The incident took place around 4.30pm on Wednesday 30 September at the crossing close to the junction of St Ann's Well Road and Hedderley Walk.

The vehicle clipped the woman's leg but did not stop and continued to travel in a north easterly direction away from Nottingham city centre.

She suffered swelling to her knee and continues to report being in pain following the incident.

We are now asking people to come forward with both information and dashcam footage which captured the incident.

Police Constable Andy Finch said: "A number of people assisted the woman so we know there were witnesses who have not yet spoken to us.

"There will also have been other vehicles passing along St Ann's Well Road around this time who may have recorded footage of the incident.

"I'd urge anyone who can help to please get in touch without delay."

Anyone with information or relevant footage should call us on 101, quoting incident 686 of 30 September 2026, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

A 24-hour help point introduced to make Nottingham city centre safer has already helped us make arrests, locate missing young people and respond to people in distress just weeks after becoming operational.

The CCTV help point in Angel Row connects people directly to Nottingham City Council’s CCTV control room at the touch of a button, allowing operators to see what is happening, provide reassurance and alert police when necessary.

Since becoming operational this summer, the system has been activated around a dozen times, for incidents ranging from robbery and assault to missing people and medical emergencies, demonstrating how the technology is providing an important additional safety net for people visiting the city centre.

In one incident on 1 September, a member of the public used the help point to report three young people on the roof of a building in Friar Lane.

CCTV operators monitored the group and alerted us, including passing on descriptions and updating officers on their movements when they left the roof.

The three were subsequently located by officers and arrested.

In another incident later that month, a young person approached the help point and told the operator he had been reported missing and had previously spoken to a police officer before his phone battery died.

The CCTV operator alerted our officers and continued monitoring him as he moved towards a nearby tram stop.

Officers attended, located the young person and were able to return him home safely.

The help point has also helped us respond to suspected offending in the city’s night-time economy.

During the early hours of 20 September, operators dealt with a series of calls from a couple reporting that they had been assaulted and harassed.

Operators monitored the developing situation through CCTV and repeatedly communicated with police.

When the couple contacted the help point again and CCTV showed another man chasing them, officers were directed to the scene and a man was arrested.

One of the first people to use the help point was a woman who contacted the CCTV control room in the early hours of 8 August because she believed she was being followed by a man.

Officers were immediately alerted, located both the woman and the man, carried out checks and ensured the woman reached a place of safety.

We launched its Walk in My Shoes campaign at the end of March 2025, supported by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Nottinghamshire, to find out the areas where women and girls felt unsafe.

The bespoke survey attracted more than 3,600 responses and was supported by Nottingham Forest Netball Team, Tara’s Angels, and These Girls Run.

Five key locations were identified across the city and county, with Angel Row being one of the locations where women and girls wanted extra security.

It forms part of a wider network of measures designed to improve safety and confidence in Nottingham city centre and supports the work of Operation Reclaim, which brings partners together to tackle some of the issues having the greatest impact on residents, visitors and businesses.

City Commander Superintendent Chris Pearson said: "I am glad that the public are utilising the Angel Row help point when they are in need of immediate assistance.

"Women and girls were very clear with us as part of the Walk in My Shoes campaign that they felt the area needed better coverage and extra security.

"The help point can be used by anyone, as these highlighted incidents show, and we are glad that people know of its existence.

"While Angel Row is part of our ongoing police patrol plans, having a dedicated help point means we can capture people's safety concerns immediately.

"This will never replace policing in the area but is an additional tool to help us detect any incidents before they escalate."

We are continuing to make life as difficult as possible for drug dealers to operate in the city centre – with a 14-year-old arrested in the early hours of the morning.

At around 2.10am on Friday 9 September, we received a call from the CCTV control room after spotting a boy acting suspiciously in Lincoln Street.

They followed the suspect who was then seen engaging with a rough sleeper on Pelham Street with a suspected drug deal taking place.

The boy was seen placing his hand down his trousers before taking an item out and handing it to him followed by an exchange of cash.

Our officers arrived and carried out a search where a quantity of cash has been recovered and seized.

A 14-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs.

This is all part of Operation Reclaim, a partnership approach to tackling the major problems in the city centre including drug dealing.

We have already made a significant number of arrests since the launch of the operation in May, with more than 30 people detained with intent to supply offences.

We have also taken a large quantity of drugs off the streets including crack co***ne, co***ne, he**in, cannabis, M**A and mamba.

Neighbourhood Police Inspector Paul Ferguson said: "We are continuing to make life as difficult as possible for drug dealers to operate in the city centre.

"Having this joined-up approach means that multiple partners are looking out for this activity and reporting it immediately to us.

"On Friday morning, the CCTV team located a boy acting suspiciously in the city centre and we were there quickly to detain him.

"We know that drug dealers will often use children to carry out their dirty work in the hope that they won't get caught.

"Rest assured, they will. And we will use all the powers at our disposal to take away the lifestyle they are funding through child exploitation and drugs."

Do you think your child is being exploited? Please get in touch with us as soon as possible on 101 or through our online portal.

All information will be treated in the strictest of confidence. We are here to help.

We have arrested some of Nottingham’s most prolific offenders as part of a targeted operation aimed at those causing the greatest harm in the city centre.

Multiple police teams joined forces with Community Protection Officers and My Local Bobby officers for a day of action on Wednesday (7 October), resulting in 11 arrests.

During the operation, two boys were also issued with 48-hour Section 35 dispersal orders after being seen climbing onto the roof of a building in Old Market Square.

We carried out both high-visibility and plain-clothes patrols, supported by our CCTV police van.

Activity focused on key hotspot locations including Old Market Square, Hockley and the Lace Market, while officers also carried out checks in a number of car parks in search of known drug users.

The arrests were part of Operation Reclaim, a partnership-led initiative tackling issues that have the biggest impact on the city centre, including retail crime, antisocial behaviour and drug-related offending.

Inspector Paul Ferguson, who leads the City Centre Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: "This highly successful operation brought together officers from across the force alongside key partners, demonstrating the strength of our collective approach to tackling crime and anti-social behaviour.

"Our priority is to work with partners to address the underlying causes of offending, including drug and alcohol misuse.

"However, where individuals refuse support and continue to commit offences in the city centre, we will take robust action.

"That was exactly the case for the 11 people arrested in the city centre on Wednesday.

"Several of those detained are prolific offenders who have caused significant harm to our business community, with some even returning to the city centre despite being subject to active exclusion orders.

"Through Operation Reclaim, our officers remain relentless in identifying and pursuing those responsible for the most harm.

"We are committed to making Nottingham city centre a safer place for residents, workers and visitors, and will continue to take action against those who refuse to change their behaviour."

We have put more shoplifters before the courts as our clampdown on retail crime continues in Nottingham city centre.

Arrests were made across 44 investigations in September after neighbourhood officers completed multiple lines of enquiry to track down suspects.

The arrests come as Operation Reclaim continues in the city centre.

Using the Home Office's 'Clear, Hold, Build' model, we are working with partners to make the area as hostile as possible for criminals to operate and ensuring the vacuum isn't filled with further criminality.

PC Phil Yates, of our City Centre Neighbourhood Policing Team and who specialises in retail crime investigations, said:

"As part of our Clear, Hold and Build approach, teams within the city centre are continuing to take a zero tolerance approach to dealing with those individuals who continue to commit thefts at retail businesses in the city centre.

"Those released from court on bail are handed strict conditions to protect the businesses whom they target and any breaches will result in further arrests.

"As we approach the Christmas shopping period, anyone looking to exploit busy stores to commit theft can expect the same robust response from police.

"Our message is clear: Those caught shoplifting could find themselves spending the festive season at His Majesty’s Pleasure."

He added: "Shoplifting is far from a victimless crime.

"Repeated thefts can leave retail staff feeling frustrated, vulnerable and anxious, particularly when the same businesses are targeted time and again by offenders seeking to fund their lifestyles or addictions.

"We will continue to do everything within our power to tackle this issue, including pursuing further Criminal Behaviour Orders where appropriate, to provide shop workers with the protection and reassurance they deserve.

"No one should have to come to work worried about what they may face during the day.

"The impact that persistent theft and anti-social behaviour can have on retail staff is significant, and it is something we are committed to addressing."

We are investigating a break-in at an apartment in Nottingham city centre and want to speak to this man.

We attended the address in Thurland Street after hearing an individual had entered the premises without permission.

Bank cards and more than £2,000 worth of items were then taken from inside the building – including a laptop and a watch.

The intruder then bundled the stolen belongings into a washing basket – also taken from the address – before running out the exit.

Our officers have been looking into the city centre burglary ever since it happened, around 5.30pm on 9 July.

We can now release these two images of a man we'd like to speak to as part of our inquiries.

Detective Sergeant Elina Falcon said: "This break-in took place in a busy part of the city centre and during a busy part of the day.

"As such, there will have been people around at the time who may have some information that could assist our investigation.

"Likewise, we'd ask that anyone who recognises the man in these pictures gets in touch with us, while we'd urge the man himself to do the same.

"The victim is understandably very upset about what has happened, so we're determined to get to the bottom of this on their behalf."

Anyone who has any information can report it to us directly by calling 101, quoting incident 642 of 9 July 2026.

Crimestoppers can also be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.

We have arrested two boys on suspicion of arson after a large-scale fire broke out in Nottingham city centre.

The incident happened just after 10pm on Monday 5 October at a building in Market Street just above Escobar.

Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service was supported by our officers and East Midlands Ambulance Service.

Officers closed Upper Parliament Street, Goldsmith Street, Market Street and the surrounding area to protect the public and some properties were evacuated while our fire colleagues dealt with the large-scale blaze.

Two boys, aged 14 and 12, have been arrested on suspicion of arson and remain in police custody.

We are supporting the fire service while a thorough investigation is underway to determine the cause of the fire.

City commander Superintendent Chris Pearson said: "This incident caused large-scale disruption to Nottingham city centre last night, but luckily no one was seriously injured.

"This is testament to the combined work of all emergency services coming together to protect the public from harm.

"While we are in the early stages of the investigation to determine how the fire was caused, we have arrested two boys on suspicion of arson and criminal damage.

"These arrests were made very quickly after we were called to the incident.

"Anyone who has not already spoken to us and has any information that could help with our investigation including dash cam or mobile phone footage is being asked to call 101 quoting incident number 0874 of the 5th October 2026 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."

Group Manager of Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service, Richard Leighton, said: "Emergency services were called to the fire just after 10pm last night, and at the height of the incident, we had 12 fire engines in attendance.

"Crews worked extremely hard throughout the night to get the fire under control, and they’re still working to ensure there are no hot spots throughout the building.

"A fire investigation will commence later today to assist Nottinghamshire Police with their investigations."

A shoplifter who committed theft after theft while burgling a shop too has been jailed for three years.

Joe Edwards' long list of thieving saw him steal stock from shops, an e-scooter from a customer and a charity box from a countertop.

The 20 separate offences he was charged with also included a break-in that saw Edwards smash a glass cabinet within a store in Nottingham city centre and take more than £9,000 worth of smartphones.

That burglary on 23 July of this year proved to be the final theft from a crime series that saw the 38-year-old shoplift from different stores across Sherwood, Top Valley, Nottingham city centre, Wollaton and Mapperley.

Each of those thefts happened between this January and May, with sunglasses, alcohol, to***co, chocolate Easter eggs and laundry products among the haul of items Edwards stole.

In the midst of that theft spree, the opportunistic thief also stole an e-scooter from the entrance of a shop in Bulwell, after watching a customer ride up to the store and leave the scooter unattended just seconds earlier.

If that wasn't bad enough, Edwards then committed two further shop thefts in June and July, with one of these seeing him brazenly walk into a city centre shop and steal a charity box from the counter.

The thief's catalogue of offences would eventually catch up with him when he was spotted by police and arrested on 14 August, with a multitude of charges then following.

These included one burglary, 11 counts of shop theft, a further theft, multiple counts of drugs possession, one count of handling stolen goods, a further fraud by false representation and a public order offence.

Having pleaded guilty to each offence, Edwards, of Tavistock Drive, Mapperley, attended Nottingham Crown Court on Thursday (1 October), where he was sentenced to three years behind bars.

He was also made the subject of a five-year criminal behaviour order (CBO) banning him from entering Nottingham city centre, as well as any Tesco, Co-op, or Vision Express store in Nottinghamshire over that period.

Inspector Paul Ferguson said: "Joe Edwards is a prolific thief who clearly has no respect for the law, so we were pleased to see him receive this sentence.

"His long list of offending included shop theft after shop theft, as well as a high-value business burglary and the further theft of an e-bike that really demonstrated his opportunistic criminal nature.

"This thieving spree was completely unacceptable, so as I say, it was good to see him receive – not just a lengthy custodial sentence – but an even longer CBO to help us put a stop to his behaviour when he gets out of prison."
