Police said about 20 of the youths abused and threatened staff.

No arrests have been made but a police investigation is under way.

The group entered the restaurant at around 9pm.

There were also reports that the group are congregating outside the Milton Street McDonald’s at around 10pm.

Nothing was taken from the Milton Street McDonald’s and the group had left the scene when police arrived.

A spokesperson for Nottinghamshire Police said: “We are treating this incident very seriously. This is a commercial burglary as the group forced their way behind the counter of a business and stole food and soft drinks.

“It is completely unacceptable. No arrests have been made yet, but we will be working with the Clumber Street McDonald’s and carrying out CCTV inquiries to find those responsible.”
