Man charged after cash and booze stolen in Ollerton restaurant break-in

Jonathan Blundell, aged 34, of Yew Tree Road, Ollerton, was due to appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court today, Thursday, charged with one count of burglary.

It follows a break-in at the Bella Vita restaurant, on Main Street, Ollerton. A till, cash jar and bottles of spirits were stolen.

It was reported to police on Sunday, February 19, at about 9.50am, when staff discovered a window had been smashed overnight.

Detective Sergeant Ben Skellern, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Burglary can have a serious impact on businesses, both financially, and emotionally for the hard-working staff who are impacted by the offence.”

Blundell has also been charged with criminal damage and threatening behaviour in relation to an incident at the Costcutter supermarket, on Whitewater Road, Ollerton, on February 13, and with criminal damage after bricks were thrown through the window of a property on Forest View, Ollerton, on February 11.
