Tributes have been paid to 'a wonderful and vibrant' mother who had her 'whole life ahead of her' before she was killed.

Anna Zukowska, aged 52, leaves behind two sons, who have been left devastated by the news of their mum's untimely death.

In a family statement, they said: "Anna was a wonderful, vibrant person who was full of life and had so many plans for the future.

"She leaves behind countless friends whose lives she touched.

"Her mother, her sister and sons are deeply heartbroken and struggling to process the unimaginable tragedy.

"We respectfully ask for privacy during this painful time and the family place their trust in the justice system to hold the person responsible for this crime fully accountable."

Anna was discovered at her home address in James Close in Ollerton, shortly before 8pm on Sunday 6 September.

Jozef Zbigniew Oleszek, aged 60, of James Close, Ollerton, was arrested on Sunday 6 September and charged with murder on Wednesday 9 September.

He has been remanded into custody and is due to appear at Nottingham Magistrates Court on Thursday 10 September.

Although formal identification has not yet taken place, Anna's family have been made aware and are being supported by specially trained officers.

Detective Inspector Stu Barson, who is leading the investigation, said: "The family and friends of Anna Zukowska are at the forefront of this investigation.

"We cannot even begin to imagine the pain and suffering they are going through right now and will continue to support them in every way possible."

Detectives have been granted extra time to detain a man arrested on suspicion of the murder of an Ollerton woman.

A dedicated team of detectives and officers have been working on the investigation since Sunday 6 September.

The victim, aged 52, was discovered at an address in James Close, Ollerton, shortly before 8pm.

Family members raised the alarm when they could not reach the victim, which prompted officers to enter her home address.

A 60-year-old man was later arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in police custody. He is known to the victim.

Officers were granted an additional 36 hours by the courts yesterday to detain the suspect while further lines of inquiry are explored.

This includes mobile phone and CCTV work, forensics and further witness statements.

A cordon will remain in place at the property.

The woman's family are being supported by specially trained officers during this incredibly difficult time.

Detective Inspector Stu Barson, who is leading the investigation, said: "This was an utterly horrific and violent crime committed on a woman in her own home, and we will leave no stone unturned.

"The family remain at the heart of everything we do. As you can imagine, this news has been utterly devastating for them, and they have asked for privacy during this incredibly difficult time.

"We would like anyone with information, who has not already been in touch, to please contact us, especially if you live in the area of James Close in Ollerton.

"Did you see or notice any suspicious activity before or during Sunday 6 September? Even the smallest piece of information may prove vital to this investigation."

Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting incident 607 of Sunday 6 September 2026. Information can also be shared via this online link: https://mipp.police.uk/operation/33EM26E96-PO1

Blidworth officers have secured a banning order against a shoplifter with a long history of thieving.

Gary Frew has been responsible for tormenting shops in Blidworth and Rainworth on and off for some time now.

Tesco Express stores in Mansfield Road, Blidworth, and Kirklington Road, Rainworth, have both found themselves targeted by the 48-year-old.

Frew is known to have stolen from the Mansfield Road-based shop on at least 15 separate occasions since the end of 2024, while also helping himself to items from Tesco in Rainworth too.

His regular offending has meant he's become a familiar face to staff in the stores and officers in our neighbourhood beat teams – meaning he was quickly identified after stealing from the Blidworth store on 27 June.

Having helped himself to packs of steaks on that occasion, Frew's face and name were circulated to us, with our officers then spotting and arresting him while they were on patrol in Blidworth.

He was subsequently charged with shop theft, with the Blidworth beat team managing to obtain a criminal behaviour order (CBO) by the time he admitted the offence at Mansfield Magistrates' Court last Tuesday (25 August).

Under the order, Frew, of Oak Avenue, Blidworth, is banned from entering Tesco Express in Blidworth and Rainworth for three years and will find himself before the courts facing criminal charges – and potentially prison – should he do this.

Sergeant Christian Hurley said: “We’re delighted to have obtained this CBO against Frew, who has persistently broken the law and stolen items from shops in our community.

"Having this order in place means that, should Frew continue to target our shops with his thieving, he will more than likely find himself behind bars.

"The neighbourhood beat team put in a lot of work to help secure this order, which we hope provides some reassurance to local business owners and shows how seriously we take this offending.

“We do find that a lot of shoplifting offences are carried out by the same group of repeat offenders, so anything we can do to stop these individuals is undoubtedly a good thing."

"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.

Three men have been arrested on suspicion of weapon offences after we acted on intelligence reports in Edwinstowe.

Fi****ms officers were called to Clipstone Road at around 6pm on Tuesday (25 August) following information that a wanted man was in the area.

According to intelligence, the wanted man had previously been in possession of an offensive weapon, potentially a firearm, in the Lincolnshire area.

When our officers arrived in Edwinstowe, they identified two vehicles in a car park near South Forest Leisure Centre. After stopping the vehicles, one of the occupants attempted to flee but was quickly detained.

A search of the vehicles did not uncover a firearm; however, officers recovered a large quantity of cash from the boot of one vehicle, as well as a machete.

Three men, aged 43, 35 and 31, were arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm and possession of criminal property.

They remain in police custody while our enquiries continue.

Detective Inspector Luke Waller said: "Based on information available to us, we had reason to believe one of the suspects may have been in possession of an offensive weapon, potentially a viable firearm.

"While no firearm was recovered, we understand the concern and potential harm associated with weapons of this nature, and we take all reports extremely seriously.

"These arrests were the result of a coordinated operation involving multiple police units.

"We remain committed to pursuing intelligence-led investigations and doing everything we can to keep dangerous weapons off our streets and protect our communities."
