An Edison township woman was charged Thursday with leaving her sleeping baby in the car while she returned something at Walmart, police said.
Officers and medics responded to the Route 27 and Vineyard Road store about 2:55 p.m. after passers-by saw the 16-month-old girl in the rear of the 2000 Honda Civic, Lt. Sal Filannino said. Police used a lockout tool to open the door and retrieved the toddler, who had been unattended for about 25 minutes but was unharmed.
Store employees located Shweta Nagpal, 29, who came outside and was arrested on charges of neglect of a child, Fiplannino said. She was released after processing.
The lieutenant said the state Division of Youth and Family Services was notified.
Nagpal's age was not immediately available.
