Corrie star's mum arrested for assault after taking gran from care home ahead of lockdown

The actress added: “The police were as kind as they could be, they had a hard job. I thank them for trying their best and de-arresting my Mum so we could go home together.”

After the incident in York, Assistant Chief Constable Chris Noble, from Humberside Police, said: “These are incredibly difficult circumstances and we sympathise with all families who are in this position.

“We responded to a report of an assault at the care home, who are legally responsible for the woman’s care and were concerned for her wellbeing.

“As was our legal duty, we returned the lady to the home and a 73-year-old woman who was initially arrested was de-arrested and allowed to return home with her daughter.

“We understand that this is an emotional and difficult situation for all those involved and will continue to provide whatever support we can to both parties.”
