BURLINGTON, NC (WTVD) -- Burlington police are trying to locate a woman accused of kidnapping a 3-year-old Wednesday night.

Police were called to the 400 block of South Anthony Street just after 10 p.m. on a disturbance call.

When officers arrived, they learned that 28-year-old Brittany Ann Massey had entered the home two hours prior and left with a 3-year-old she was not related to.
