A feisty Dutch grandmother was 'arrested' by local police after her niece notified them she wanted to be handcuffed and locked up by authorities before she died.

The woman, known only as Annie, was pictured grinning as local police arrested her and she was photographed being taken into custody.

Grandma Annie has been ticking items off her bucket list, and police at Nijmegen Zuid were happy to help.

She had told her family she always wanted to know what it would be like to be arrested.
