Insp Nick Butler, district commander for Mansfield, praised the member of public for helping to locate the men.
“This was a great bit of work, initially by a lone officer, to track down three suspects so quickly,” he said. I would also like to pay tribute to the member of the public who followed the suspects and pointed out their location to the first officer to arrive on scene.
The scene was made safe by crews from Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service. Photo: Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue.
