Fake cash haul found after car theft attempt

A "significant" haul of counterfeit cash and mobile phones was found by police investigating an attempted car theft in Nottingham.

Officers were called to Langdale Road, Bakersfield, at about 07:35 BST on 3 August after a resident reported an intruder had tried to steal his vehicle.

The suspect fled the scene in another vehicle after the car's alarm was triggered before police then stopped the vehicle near Colwick Loop Road.

A 23-year-old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of attempted theft of a motor vehicle and the acquisition of criminal property and has since been bailed pending further investigation.
