Did you witness Mansfield service station break in?
Police are appealing for witnesses and information following a Mansfield service station burglary.
Nottinghamshire Police were called in at around 2.30am on Easter Sunday morning to the Texaco Service Station in Rosemary Street, Mansfield after two men were thought to have broken into the premises before taking a quantity of cigarettes.
One of the men is described as wearing a dark tracksuit, wearing distinctive Nike trainers and gloves. It is thought he was carrying a sheet and wearing a scarf to cover his face.
The two men are then thought to have fled the scene via Newcastle Street.
Police Constable Matthew Wheatcroft, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “We are now appealing for anyone who may have information that could help us in our investigation to get in touch as soon as possible.
“Burglary can have a devastating impact on businesses and we are committed to investigating all reports made to us thoroughly.
“If you saw the incident have dash cam footage or any information that could help officers, please call 101 and quote incident number 78 of 12 April 2020.”
Just over a week ago the Chad reported that a garage in the Ashefield area, which had been giving free supplies to emergency services, was targeted by thieves on six consecutive days.
Beer, wine and champagne were taken from the BP Sutton garage, on Sutton Road when thieves entered the garage during opening hours. Company director Krishanand Sivalpalan said the thefts had cost the business “hundreds of pounds.”
