Enquiries showed he was wanted by police following a string of Ford Fiesta thefts. The first theft happened in Kimberley on April 8 and two more Ford Fiestas were taken from properties in The Meadows and The Park Estate areas of Nottingham on Wednesday, July 7.

He has therefore been further arrested on suspicion of all three car thefts.

A 25-year-old woman, who was a passenger inside the Audi A3 that was stopped last night, was also arrested in relation to the vehicle thefts, a Nottinghamshire Police spokesman said.
