Police make arrests after a man was injured in an alleged phone robbery
Nottinghamshire Police have arrested three people after a man was reportedly robbed of his cell phone after arranging a sale and meeting with the buyer in Radford.
Police said two men and a woman arrived in a car at noon on January 5 to meet the victim on Dorket Drive, with one of the men allegedly snatching the victim’s phone and driving away without pay.
The injured party tried to hold on to the car when driving away, but had to let go when accelerating and fell to the ground. He suffered leg injuries and rib pain.
Police officers on patrol later discovered the car believed to be involved in the incident heading north on the M1.
They stopped near Exit 28, searched the car, and arrested three inmates. The vehicle was subsequently confiscated during the investigation.
Cell phones were found along with a watch believed to have been stolen from a Leicestershire address and worn by one of the male suspects.
A 27-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of robbery and theft, a 19-year-old man on suspicion of robbery and a 26-year-old woman on suspicion of conspiracy to commit robbery.
