A 30-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of burglary and a laptop suspected to have been stolen from the business was also recovered. Inquiries are ongoing into the burglary.
Sergeant Simon Whitehouse, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This was fantastic work from our response and Operation Reacher officers to track down and detain a suspect within minutes of this report and recover a stolen laptop.
“The last thing any local business needs is to be targeted by burglars. I'd like to reassure our local retailers that the force treats commercial burglary and theft very seriously and will continue to deal robustly with anyone believed to be involved in such crimes and work hard to secure justice for burglary victims.”
