BBC NewsPeople are being reminded to keep their house and car keys secure at home after a suspected "hook and cane" burglary in Gotham.
Nottinghamshire Police said it believed a burglar used a cane with a hook on the end through a letterbox to reach car keys for a BMW at a house in St Lawrence Close between 16:00 on Tuesday and 08:00 yesterday.
Insp Craig Berry warned residents to keep keys out of sight away from external doors and windows and not in porches or hallways.
“If you have a keyless entry system to your vehicle we’d also advise you to find out if it can be switched off overnight, to prevent thieves using digital scanners from detecting and relaying its signal," he added.
Council meeting suspended over 'political imbalance'published at 17:16 British Summer Time 28 May 2020
Hugh Casswell
Political reporter, BBC Radio NottinghamA live-streamed meeting of Nottinghamshire County Council had to be abandoned this morning after some councillors claimed there was a political imbalance.
The full council meeting had been planned to include only around 20 councillors, rather than the usual 66, to allow for social distancing but represent the authority's political balance.
Before the meeting, Maureen Dobson, an unaligned independent councillor, said she would not attend, feeling it was unnecessary to have the meeting in person and wanted a risk assessment.
Image source, Nottinghamshire County CouncilAshfield Independent councillor Tom Hollis, who would not have been part of the meeting otherwise, argued her not being there made the meeting politically imbalanced and wanted to take her place.
Council chief executive Anthony May said Mr Hollis refused to leave.
A few other options were discussed, such as increasing the overall number in attendance, but Labour felt this would have made social distancing impossible.
Ashfield Independent leader Jason Zadrozny said: "If they can't have some honour with how they treat people and the balance of the council then we won't behave honourably either."

"It's a positive outcome, we could have called the police but I'm a strong believer that making amends is a stronger lesson in life," he said.
