Criminals target Volkswagen GTIs and GTDs near City Ground during Nottingham Forest match

The owner of a vehicle recovery business has shared his concerns after multiple people had their cars damaged during a football match. On Wednesday, January 11, Nottingham Forest played Wolverhampton Wanderers at the City Ground, but whilst the teams were playing a number of spectators had their cars damaged on Victoria Embankment, near The Meadows.

Owner of M1 Recoveries, Ufaan Hussain, has spoken out about the incidents after he was called to recover a car and saw that at least another three vehicles had also been targeted, all of which were Volkswagen GTIs and GTDs. He said: "Basically I have a car towing service in Nottingham, where people call me if they have broken down or what not, and a gentleman called me around 11pm at night and said someone broke into his vehicle.

"They had nicked his digital dash and they have taken his infotainment system. When I got there I realised that a lot of people who were at the forest game at the time with that car, they were targeted.
