A woman attempted to kidnap a four-year-old boy on Santa Monica Beach this week.
According to Santa Monica Police Department Public, around 1:15 p.m. on Tuesday, February 7, officers responded to assist Los Angeles County Lifeguards regarding an attempted child abduction on the 2400 block of the beach, near Hollister Avenue.
“When officers arrived, they discover a female who attempted to grab and walk away with a four-year-old boy. The boy’s mother was able to regain control of him,” the SMPD said.
The boy suffered no physical injuries, police say.
According to the SMPD, officers took custody of the suspect, 51-year-old Susan Johnson, and transported her to the Santa Monica Jail where she was booked for kidnapping. She is currently being held on a $100,000 bail and is expected to appear in court Thursday.
