A resident of Pinellas County, Florida, ended up behind bars after attempting to kidnap neighbors' children while two others were waiting for her at home.
According to detectives, 28-year-old Hannah Brown left the house at 2 am on August 18 — and 15 minutes later, a surveillance camera at the house of her neighbor, Amber, captured Brown getting inside.
The woman attempted to snatch the 9-month-old baby from his 12-year-old sister's arms, resulting in a scuffle. In the end, Amber, who asked the media not to give her last name, managed to hide with the children and call the police.
“She stood in the middle of the living room and said she came to pick up the baby. — the woman recalls — She claimed that she wanted to protect him, and I looked at her [and could not understand]: what is she doing in my house at all. »
Just minutes before the incident, Brown walked into another house next door and tried to take Thelma Reynolds' one-year-old grandson.
«She wanted a baby for herself,» Reynolds recalls. «She said she was going to take care of the kids living here.»
After Brown was taken into custody, it became known that she had two more young children at home. It is not known what connects them with the arrested person, but one of the kids, presumably, said that he “lost his mother” and looked scared.
Brown is currently facing charges of attempted kidnapping, burglary and child abuse. She is in prison; the deposit is $ 145 thousand.
