Man jailed after pub and shopping arcade break-ins

A burglar who conducted a “series of raids” on establishments in the heart of the city has been imprisoned.

Adrian Perry was apprehended at the West End Arcade in Nottingham at 01:45 GMT on Tuesday, according to the

police. He attempted to escape by scaling a ladder, but authorities detained him.

Detectives eventually connected the 56-year-old to two other break-ins when he destroyed the till after smashing his

way into one of the arcade’s establishments.

When Perry, who does not have a fixed address, appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, he

entered a guilty plea to three charges of burglary and was sentenced to one year and six weeks in prison.

Police said Perry used a brick to smash his way into the Mist Rolling Inn on Derby Road before stealing bottles of

spirits and was also captured on CCTV breaking into a homeware shop on the same street on 21 January.

Perry also admitted threatening behaviour following an incident at a supermarket in Carlton Street the same day.

Officers said he confronted a member of staff who was opening up at the store and threatened to attack them.
