Residents on a Ruddington estate have been forced to deal with a spate of petty vehicle crime, with criminals breaking into cars and trying to steal a motorbike. Police have increased patrols in the Rushcliffe village in light of a sharp rise in crime, which neighbours say has left them "concerned".
A number of people living on the estate off Pasture Lane, situated in the west of Ruddington, have been effected by vehicle crime in the past few weeks, including retired firefighter Martin Molloy.
The 51-year-old said two people had got into his garden and attempted to steal his motorbike at around 2.30am on Tuesday, April 19. "They put the wheelie bin against the fence and jumped into the garden," he explained to Nottinghamshire Live.
