Detective Sergeant Lauren Morgan, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: "Break-ins and burglaries have a huge impact on homeowners and businesses which is why Nottinghamshire Police works so hard to target those responsible and bring them to justice.

"Burglary is an incredibly intrusive crime which aside from financial loss causes significant upset to victims. I'd like to reassure people that we remain absolutely committed to tackling this crime and relentlessly pursuing those who cause the most harm to our communities through acquisitive criminal activity."
