The owner of a former care home in Gedling has installed extra security there after teenagers broke in and threw a tin of paint around. The Stoke House Care Home on Stoke Lane closed after a damning inspection report in 2020 found that it was "not safe" for residents.
Confusion then arose the year after when residents near the building had letters from a company saying that it wanted to base a a homeless shelter in the former care home building. Councillors confirmed at the time that no official plans were ever submitted.
Now, at least two break-ins have recently occurred in the former care home. The first happened last month and saw copper pipes being stolen, causing a small flood.
