“She turned around and said, ‘My baby! She stole my baby!’ ”
The Mother’s Day attempted abduction took place at around 1:30 p.m. Sunday at Eva Taylor Court, an Ottawa Community Housing complex on Britannia Road, police said. They said the suspect, 32-year-old Nicole Shanks of Shawville, Que., “forcefully entered” the house and sprayed the young mother, Melissa Armstrong, with bear spray before grabbing her baby.
Neighbours chased the woman down and held her until police arrived.
Staff-Sgt. Martin Groulx of the Ottawa police sexual assault and child abuse unit said at a virtual press conference Monday that there had been communications between the mother and the accused via Facebook, and that the accused had used her real name and picture.
