A car stolen from Worsop has been reunited with its owner – and four suspects have been arrested in what police call a ‘fast-paced investigation’.

Officers were called at around 8.15am on Friday – moments after the car had been taken from outside an address in Chestnut Close.

At around 2.30pm, the vehicle was found abandoned in the South Yorkshire area and later returned to its owner.

Inspector Hayley Crawford, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This was a really good bit of work by the officers involved who put in a huge amount of effort to investigate what happened.

“Thanks to their efforts we were not only able to re-unite this car with its owner, but also take a significant quantity of illegal drugs off the streets as well.

“We understand how upsetting these offences are for victims and will always do whatever we can in the immediate aftermath of a theft to find the vehicles involved and identify suspects."
