Police in the US city of Los Angeles have released CCTV footage of a kidnapped woman, appealing to the public to help identify her.
According to local media, Los Angeles police have released 2 CCTV footage of a kidnapped woman in which she is seen trying unsuccessfully to abduct the children.
Both videos are from October 18. The first video is of a local restaurant where the accused goes to a woman carrying a child standing near the car, and asks her to hand over the child to him.
The accused said that the said 1-year-old child is her brother who should be handed over to her.
Meanwhile, a passerby approaches and tries to chase the accused away, after which she leaves.
Later that day, she passed by a residential area and stopped near a house. Several children were playing on the outside of the house. Timely action fails to achieve its goal.
The kidnapper escaped after the incident and police have so far failed to nab her. Police have released footage of the accused and appealed to the public to help identify her.
