Body camera footage shows officers approaching the trailer. They used bolt cutters and a cinder block to break the lock, before entering to find the suspect there with the two children.
They retrieved both children, who were found to be in good health, despite the trailer’s lack of air conditioning in the 97-degree heat.
Officers took the captor into custody. She had taken the children after she was asked to babysit them, FOX 5 reported.
