He has been released on bail pending further enquiries.

“Incidents like this leave people in a really awful position.

"Cars are very often a main form of transport, and for many they are a lifeline.

"When a car is taken, it not only inconveniences the victim, but also can cost them financially as well.

“While we have arrested a man in relation to the incident, we are continuing to investigate.

"However, we do believe those involved are known to each other and there is no further risk to the public.”

Anyone with information, or who witnessed the incident, is asked to call Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident 89 of 6 December 2021.
