"I honestly felt alright."

These are the words of a drink driver caught by officers after a road traffic collision.

The 25-year-old woman was arrested in Edwards Lane in the early hours of 26 June when she lost control and rolled her car onto its roof.

Thankfully, she was uninjured but did blow more than twice the legal limit.

During a full and frank admission to officers in interview, she admitted to drinking three to four bottles of lager during a work leaving do.

The driver admitted she'd been 'an idiot' and was later disqualified from driving for 20 months.

We are currently running a public awareness campaign on the everyday consequences of people losing their licence because of a drink-drive conviction, and the shame, embarrassment and inconvenience that comes with it.

🫵 How would a driving ban affect your life?

🏫 How would you get to work or take your children to school?

😦 How would your family or employer react?

These are questions we are currently asking drivers of all ages because drink driving also kills careers, relationships, and family lives.

We have arrested a suspect after a teenage girl was robbed in Bestwood.

The victim was sitting on a bench in Pavior Road when she was confronted by another teenage girl.

She was then suddenly punched in the face, pulled to the ground by her hair and kicked in the head, stomach and back.

The victim was left with multiple cuts and clumps of her hair missing following the attack, which happened around 6pm on 17 August.

Her phone was also taken during the melee, which although found discarded further up the road soon afterwards, and had been smashed on the ground.

Having conducted extensive inquiries in the days since the incident, we identified and detained a suspect on Saturday (22 August).

A 13-year-old girl was at that point arrested on suspicion of robbery.

PC Connor Richardson said "The level of violence involved in this incident was completely unacceptable, so we're pleased to have now made an arrest.

"Robbery is an incredibly serious offence that can impact people in a multitude of different ways, whether that's from a physical, financial, or emotional standpoint.

"We're therefore keen to get to the bottom of exactly what happened here, so would ask anyone who witnessed the incident, or filmed it on their phone, CCTV, dash-cam or doorbell camera, to please get in touch."

Information can be shared with us directly by calling 101, quoting incident 648 of 17 August 2026, while Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.

A drug dealing suspect was found with co***ne in his underpants after being stopped by us.

Our Armed Policing team were out on patrol in Bestwood when they noticed a car travelling southbound along Hucknall Road.

Believing it could be linked to criminality, the fi****ms officers followed the vehicle along Valley Road and pulled it over in Edwards Lane.

Approaching the car – around 7pm on Sunday (23 August) – they immediately noticed a large amount of cash as well as cannabis inside the vehicle.

Despite those discoveries, our officers thought the man in the driver's seat could have more drugs hidden under his clothing, so brought him into custody so that he could be searched properly.

Those searches subsequently resulted in wraps containing quantities of co***ne being found inside the suspect's underpants.

Having seized the drugs, officers arrested the 25-year-old man on suspicion of possessing with intent to supply Class A and Class B drugs.

Sergeant Lee Frith said: "Our fi****ms officers deserve great credit for following their policing instincts and electing to pull this car over.

"Having initially noticed the vehicle while out on patrol, the officers immediately started to suspect something wasn't right when they approached it, so decided to investigate further.

"That decision ultimately resulted in quantities of Class A and Class B drugs being discovered – some of which was hidden in a man's underpants – and a suspect being arrested for drug dealing offences."

❓ Did you know, in 2025 there were 1,435 drink and drug driving offences in Nottinghamshire? 1,191 were male and 233 were female.

Remember, drink driving offences don't just include those who drive after the night out, it’s about whether you’re safe and fit to drive the next day too.

🧠 Think… How would a driving ban affect your life?

Think… How would a driving ban affect your life? 🤔

Our third and final video shows an older man squirming with embarrassment as he catches up with an old acquaintance on the golf course.

A driving ban can affect every part of your life, from employment to your reputation.

Drink driving kills your career. ❌

"I drive 40,000 miles a year"

These are the words of a young tradesman we caught drinking and driving after a night out with his mates.

Unfortunately for him, he won’t be driving anywhere for quite a while.

The 21-year-old came to our attention in Watnall Road, Hucknall, in the early hours of Sunday 19 July after performing a reckless overtake right in front of an unmarked police car.

After failing a breathalyser test, he was arrested, handcuffed, and later banned from driving for 14 months.

He'd never been in trouble with us before and thought he'd be okay after consuming four pints.

He wasn't and will now face some serious problems at work.

We are currently running a public awareness campaign on the everyday consequences of people losing their licence because of a drink-drive conviction, and the shame, embarrassment and inconvenience that comes with it.

❌ How would a driving ban affect your life?

🏫 How would you get to work or take your children to school?

🫣 How would your family or employer react?

These are questions we are currently asking drivers of all ages because drink driving also kills careers, relationships and family lives.
