Police are appealing for anyone with further information to come forward after two separate incidents at a Ruddington allotments within just three weeks.
‘Hareham Gardens Allotments’, at the corner of Musters Road and Asher Lane, was first targeted on the night of November 24th/25th after several sheds were broken into and tools reportedly worth around £500 stolen from one of them.
Then, on the night of December 13th, nearby residents reported another break-in at the allotments to the police. Officers attended Asher Lane at around 12.40am on 14th December 2023 and detained a suspect close to the scene.
Police have confirmed that a 16-year-old boy, who has not been named for legal reasons, was arrested on suspicion of burglary. He was bailed pending further inquiries. However, eyewitnesses have told RUDDINGTON.info they do not believe the intruder was acting alone, so others are still being sought in connection with both these incidents.
Anyone with further information is asked to call Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident number 11 of 14th December 2023; otherwise contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
