Two teenagers who plotted to kidnap
babies by offering free designer children's clothes through a fake
Facebook page have been sentenced to 12 months behind bars.
Holly Kelland, 18, set up a profile under a different name with the aim of contacting mothers with young children. Two
teenagers who plotted to kidnap babies by offering free designer
children's clothes through a fake Facebook page have been sentenced to
12 months behind bars.
Together
with school friend Codie Farrar, 17, Kelland tried to lure in targets
by telling them they had won prizes, including designer baby clothes, in
fictitious raffles.

The
pair managed to convince one mother to hand over her home address and
Farrar later visited, pretending to be a social worker who needed to
take the baby away for a 'medical assessment'.
However the woman became suspicious when Farrar held the baby's head incorrectly and notified social services.
Police later arrested the teenager, who said Kelland had recruited her to try and kidnap the baby.
