WELLINGTON: A New Zealand woman was arrested on Sunday after traveling on a bus with a two-year-old girl trapped in her luggage.
Detective Inspector Simon Harrison said the woman had been charged with ill-treatment and neglect of a child.
Police were called to a bus depot in Kaiwaka — 100 kilometers (62 miles) north of Auckland — after the bus driver became concerned about a bag moving during a scheduled stop.
“When the driver opened the suitcase, they discovered the two-year-old girl,” Harrison said.
“The little girl was reported to be very hot, but otherwise appeared physically unharmed.”
