Amanda Holden has appealed for information on some "scumbags" who appeared to try to kidnap a child

The TV presenter shared CCTV footage of two masked men getting off motorcycles driven by two more men and attempting to take a child from their mother. The video shows the woman running to the opposite side of the road behind a truck. The driver of the truck then stops to help. Sharing the footage, Holden wrote:

"So this I know is happening everywhere but this was Sandpits Road Tw10 -21st June 12;35 broad daylight. "Mother and child attached. And some #Heroes in a lorry chased them off. Call 101 or 999 if u know these scumbags."
