Nottingham man charged with dognapping denies offences

Mead also pleaded not guilty to attempted murder, grievous bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon – namely a hammer.

The woman who was injured, who is in her 40s, was taken to hospital but Nottinghamshire Police said her injuries were “not life-threatening”.

The offence of taking a dog so as to keep it from the person with lawful control, or “dognapping”, became an offence when the Pet Abduction Act (2024) came into force in August.

The offence carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison, while burglary is punishable by up to 14 years behind bars.

Mr Mead, who wore a prison-issue grey sweatshirt, appeared in court by video link from HMP Nottingham and spoke only to confirm his name and enter his pleas.

Judge Stuart Rafferty KC remanded Mr Mead, of Welstead Avenue in Aspley, Nottingham, in custody until his trial on 24 March at the same court.
