A mother of a brave four-year-old who helped prevent an alleged thief from escaping has spoken of how "proud" she is of her "very brave" daughter. Lisa Ettery and her daughter Lydia were heading into a Poundland in Prestatyn Park to buy some crayons when a man came running towards their vehicle with a suitcase full of goods.
The gentleman was running away from a nearby TK Maxx where he had allegedly stolen a variety of items such as jewellery and perfumes, Lisa told NorthWalesLive. Lisa explained: "We were on our way to Prestatyn Park, we were heading to Poundland to get some crayons so Lydia could do some colouring. On our way in, a man with a suitcase ran into my car and gave Lydia a fright. She was quite upset at the time because she didn't know what was going on, neither did I."
After hearing word from a crowd that had gathered by the store, Lisa decided, being "a bit cross", that she and Lydia would follow the man. The pair found him in a nearby estate asking someone for directions and Lisa explained that she wasn't sure what to do. Thankfully, Lydia's quick-thinking to phone the police helped assist the arrest.
