Robber Girl tries to flee cops by jumping from 17th Floor apartment

She had model looks and the chance to turn her life around after becoming a criminal when just a child.

Shanise Paris-Goff died at the age of 18 when she fell from the 17th floor of a tower block during a police raid.

Moments earlier, officers had arrived to arrest the convicted robber after she had been on the run for nine months.

She had been freed after serving a year of a three-year sentence for robbery and assault and was expected to be monitored by the probation service as one of her early release conditions.

She had been tracked down to her boyfriend's high-rise flat and is thought to have panicked on seeing the officers.

The teenager scrambled on to a bedroom window ledge where she plunged to her death.

They were searching for her after she failed to register with her probation officer following her early release from a young offenders' institution in April last year.
