Sergeant Jack Wakefield, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: "We hope the speed our officers responded to this break-in and made this arrest shows how seriously we take reports of this nature.

"A burglary – whether on a home or a business – can cause real distress to people's lives, or in this case their livelihoods.

"We clearly don't want to see this happen in our communities, so will always look to do everything we can to take immediate action against offenders."
