Police were called to a Nottinghamshire business park after reports a man was seen wielding a knife.<\/p>\n

Officers attended the Ruddington Fields Business Park<\/a>, by Rushcliffe Country Park in Ruddington<\/a>, after receiving the report at about 9am on Monday morning (January 19).<\/p>\n

The area was searched but officers did not locate a man, and no further sightings were reported.<\/p>\n

Businesses at the industrial estate temporarily went into lockdown while police<\/a> searched the area, a spokesperson for the force<\/a> said.<\/p>\n

They added that officers will remain in the area to provide reassurances to residents.<\/p>\n

“Anyone with information can contact the police by calling 101, quoting incident 127 of January 19, or alternatively anonymously report to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111,” a spokesperson for the force added.<\/p>\n

Software company Cita, credit reporting firm Experian, and manufacturers Greene, Tweed and Co Ltd are among the companies at the business park.<\/p>\n
