A man was arrested after reports that a woman had been threatened and harrassed.

Officers received a report that the woman had been receiving abusive messages, which included threats to kill her.

They attended an address just off Lincoln Street, Worksop, and subsequently arrested a 50-year-old man on suspicion of making threats to kill and breaching a restraining order.

He remains in custody.

Detective Sergeant Jamie Moore, from Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Receiving threats, and especially those of such a serious nature, is something which can be extremely distressing for victims and we are dedicated to doing everything we can to investigate incidents like this.

“Officers quickly began making enquiries after these threats were reported and arrested a man in the early hours of Wednesday morning – 5 January 2022.

“However, we would reassure people that we believe the suspect and the victim are known to each other and that there is no wider risk to the public.

“We would encourage anyone who is being harassed or threatened to get in touch with us on 101, or in an emergency 999. We hope this action taken just goes to show how seriously we take these reports and gives victims the confidence to report incidents.”
