Police last night arrested a woman in connection with the alleged abduction of an elderly nursing home resident. Wheelchair-bound Dimitra Pavlopoulou, 97, was located at 9.30pm, almost 10 hours after being allegedly taken from her Clarinda nursing home. Police earlier in the day released security camera footage of a woman wheeling Ms Pavlopoulou, who has dementia, speaks limited English and cannot walk on her own. Her granddaughter, Tina Makarios, had made an emotional plea for her safe return, saying her family did not know who the woman was. Ms Makarios posted on social media: “My giagia is completely disabled from old age. She needs her medication.” Ms Pavlopoulou was found at a Cheltenham property and was taken to hospital as a precaution. A 51-year-old Cheltenham woman has been arrested and was last night being questioned by the police.
