Officers attended a property in George Street[2], Mansfield, following reports a robbery had just taken place. A group of men reportedly entered the address and began rifling through drawers.

When they were confronted by a man and woman inside, the group responded by punching both in the face.

The group also snatched the man's phone before leaving the property, getting into a car, and driving in the direction of Ladybrook Lane[3]. Officers attended the address around 12.25pm on Tuesday January 9 where they were provided with the getaway car's details. A car matching this description was then tracked down and stopped by response and operational support officers in Arnold, less than 45 minutes later.
