BBC News Story - Woman arrested for taking mum, 97, from care home - A retired nurse was arrested after she removed her 97-year-old mother from a care home before lockdown began.

Ylenia Angeli, 73, said she took "drastic action" due to a lack of face-to-face contact during the pandemic.

She said she wanted to care for her mother, who has dementia, herself. She was returned to the home and Ms Angeli was released without further action.

Humberside Police said it was called to reports of an assault. The care home has declined to comment.

The Prime Minister's official spokesman said they "understand how difficult the current situation is" and would be publishing new guidance to enable more visits to take place in a safe and "Covid-secure" environment.

Ms Angeli, from Market Weighton, was later de-arrested and the force said it was their "legal duty" to return her mother to the care home.

The incident took place on Tuesday as Ms Angeli visited her mother with her daughter, former Coronation Street actress Leandra Ashton, who filmed the arrest.

Ms Ashton said her mother, who previously lived in Shetland, had been pushed to "breaking point" because they had been unable to see her grandmother for nine months.

She said: "When we got there things just escalated. We didn't plan it, it was just a moment of high emotions."
