THE video above tells the story of how detectives caught a man after he attempted to kidnap a 13-year-old girl while she was out jogging in Chalford.

Robert Hall, aged 37, had fled the scene but was arrested just three days after the incident which took place last summer. He was sentenced today to five years and nine months in prison and was told he would be on an extended license for four years after the judge said he posed a serious risk of harm to the public.

Hear from Detective Inspector Adam Stacey who explains more, and to hear from the brave and courageous victim herself.
