Detectives at Nottinghamshire Police analysed CCTV footage at multiple venues to bring an offender to justice following a violent assault. The victim suffered a broken jaw after being punched in the face repeatedly during the attack in the early hours of Sunday, July 4, outside a takeaway in High Street, Warsop.
He had been in the town to watch an England football match in a pub and was outside a kebab shop when the attack took place. When he was interviewed by officers, the victim could only remember being picked up from the floor by a girl and his face covered in blood.
The police were able to put a case together and uncover what happened by using CCTV footage from several venues across the town centre, in addition to vehicle records and comparing CCTV stills with social media images of suspects.
