Two moped riders tried to smash the window of a Nottingham pawn shop in an attempted burglary that was described as "extremely upsetting" for staff. The pair tried to break the front window of Cash Monkey in Main Street, Bulwell, which was displaying jewellery and watches.
Police were called to the shop at around 11.50am on February 12 and launched an investigation into the aggravated burglary. The black-coloured moped is believed to have been ridden down a nearby alleyway before pulling up outside the shop.
One of the suspects struck the window a number of times but failed to gain access and gave up. The pair then made their escape on the moped towards Bulwell bus station.

Detective Sergeant Steve Dalby, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This was an extremely upsetting incident for staff at the shop, those in other businesses on the street and members of the public who witnessed it. We have been working hard on the investigation but I would urge anyone with information who has not yet spoken with an officer to come forward.
“It was a busy time of the day and we know there were a large number of pedestrians and drivers who may have seen something. If you witnessed anything, or have dash-cam footage which could help with the investigation, please get in touch.”
