Two boys, aged 17 and 15, were arrested on suspicion of two counts of theft and various additional driving offences.

Both were later released on bail as investigations continue.

PC Bryn Richards, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:

“Crimes of this nature are hugely upsetting for victims who also face significant financial costs when their property is stolen in this way.

“When offences are reported to us victims can be sure that we will do our best to return their property and catch up with offenders.”
