Moment police swoop in to arrest Constance Marten and Mark Gordon

Footage shows the moment police swooped in to arrest Constance Marten and her partner, Mark Gordon.

The couple was found by officers in Brighton following a tip-off from the public, but were without their newborn baby.

Police have been searching for the infant, and have further charged the couple on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter.

They were travelling by taxi across the UK after their car was found burned on a motorway in Greater Manchester.

A detective superintendent on the case said the risk the baby was “so great” they “have to consider the baby has come to harm.”
