Police Release Video of Arrest in Blackpool Baby Abduction Attempt

Nicolette Goldrick is serving 12 months in prison under a five-year restraining order following a guilty plea.

Overview

  • Newly released footage shows Goldrick returning to the area hours after the May 10 incident, where the baby’s father recognised her and officers arrested her.
  • Lancashire Police say she tried to run and spat at officers during the arrest, prompting a further suspicion of assaulting an officer.
  • Prosecutors said she approached the seven-month-old in a pram wearing a mask and sunglasses, released the brake and began to wheel the child away before parents and bystanders intervened.
  • Goldrick pleaded guilty in July to attempted abduction and common assault and was sentenced at Preston Crown Court to 12 months’ imprisonment with a five-year restraining order.
  • In a Victim Personal Statement, the mother described ongoing trauma, and friends say the family now uses precautions such as tethering the pram and a tracker.
