Nottinghamshire Police released a CCTV image on February 12, 2026, to identify a man after two staff members were assaulted at the McDonald’s in Victoria Retail Park, Nottinghamshire, as part of an effort to make local streets and the town centre safer.

Police are specifically requesting that residents check their home security cameras or dashcam footage from cars parked near the McDonald’s on Colwick Loop Road. This private footage is considered a vital link for the investigation to help identify suspects in areas where official cameras might not reach.

The incident highlights ongoing efforts by Gedling Borough Council to improve public safety through better surveillance. The council recently spent 15,000 pounds on a high-tech camera in Carlton Square to help the police investigate crimes and deter trouble in the area.

The South Nottinghamshire Community Safety Partnership is currently focusing on protecting shop workers and making late-night areas safer for everyone. People who have information about the assault or relevant video recordings are encouraged to contact the authorities directly.
