A woman's been charged with neglect, after a toddler was found in a suitcase on a bus in Northland's Kaiwaka

Just before one this afternoon, a passenger asked the bus driver to access the luggage compartment, where the suitcase appeared to be moving.

The two-year-old girl was said to be physically unharmed but very hot, and was taken to hospital.

A 27-year-old woman will appear in North Shore District Court tomorrow, and Oranga Tamariki has been notified.
