M&S worker injured in e-bike shop theft attempt

A shop worker was dragged along the ground by an e-bike rider trying to steal £200 worth of children's clothes from a Marks and Spencer store in Nottinghamshire.

  • A suspect rode an e-bike into the M&S store in Giltbrook, Nottinghamshire
  • The shop worker suffered minor injuries during the incident

A man was injured when a suspect rode an e-bike into a Marks and Spencer (M&S) shop in Giltbrook, Nottinghamshire. The suspect picked up about £200 worth of children's clothes before knocking a staff member to the ground.

Nottinghamshire Police said it was informed at about 11:45 GMT on Sunday that the suspect had ridden into the M&S store. A member of staff went to block the exit, but was struck by the bike and dragged along the ground before managing to halt the rider and bring them and the stock back inside.

The suspect then fled after a struggle, before police detained a 36-year-old man at an address in Eastwood on suspicion of robbery. PC Luke Cutts said: 'Having spotted an apparent shop theft in progress, staff went to confront a suspect at the exit. Rather than stop, the individual instead rode an e-bike directly into and over the staff member, causing minor injuries as a result.'
