Footage shows arrest of woman who tried to snatch baby

The moment a woman who tried to abduct a baby in her pram was arrested has been captured in footage released by police.

Nicolette Goldrick approached the seven-month-old girl in Blackpool's Central Drive while her mother was inside a store before walking away with the pram on 10 May.

The 51-year-old was arrested after the mother shouted and stopped her a short distance away, while passers-by also helped.

Goldrick, of Marton Drive in Blackpool, was jailed for 12 months and received a five-year restraining order after admitting child abduction and assaulting a member of the emergency services.
