The group got on to the tram at Bulwell and then reportedly began making other passengers’ lives a misery.

"This collaboration includes sharing high resolution CCTV footage from onboard our trams, and at tram stops.

“The NET team is also involved in a number of joint initiatives with the police to deter further incidents, including carrying out regular patrols across the network, and we will continue to monitor the situation in the Bulwell area, taking further targeted action should it prove necessary.”
