The officers were forced to arrest her on suspicion of theft when she refused to cooperate with them and became aggressive towards them. She’s been taken to custody at Gablecross.

Once cuffed and in the back of the police van, she could be heard screaming, shouting profanities at officers and hitting or kicking out at the cage door.
