An electrician was left fuming after he was robbed of £5,000 worth of equipment after a van break-in. Obasi George-O'basi, of Aspley, said he was shocked when he made the discovery just before he was about to head off to work.
He parked his van at the Forest Fields Park and Ride in Hyson Green at around 8pm on February 27, and left it overnight. The 43-year-old spent the night at a friend's flat which he was also maintaining and "could not believe his eyes" when he saw his van's window smashed and his tools were missing.
Mr George-O'basi told Nottinghamshire Live: "It took me three years to build up my equipment and get all my tools. It took one incident and now it is all gone. I started everything from the scratch and now I have to do it all over again. It is terrible." He is self-employed in the business he started when the pandemic hit, he explained. "So it is a huge loss for a small company", he said.
