Father And Gran Held Over Child Kidnap Probe

A father and grandmother of a toddler and baby have been arrested on suspicion of kidnap and attempted child abduction.

Saleem Tahir, 40, and 67-year-old Denise Smith-Sellars, both from Nottingham, are in custody and being questioned by detectives.
It follows a police hunt and appeal for the children, who were taken from a hotel room in Stoke-on-Trent on Friday.
They were found safe and well in a guest house near Derby town centre at around 7pm on Monday.
The youngsters are being supported by specially trained officers before they are reunited with their mother and wider family, police in Staffordshire said.
A spokesman said: "Staffordshire Police would like to take this opportunity to thank the public, the media and colleagues from a number of forces in the region for their assistance and support."
