BRANDON, Man. — Police in western Manitoba have charged a mother for abandoning her toddler in a stroller.

Brandon police say an 18-month-old girl was left alone in the city's downtown in August.

The girl was reported missing hours later and was taken into the care of Child and Family Services.

Police say a 26-year-old woman, who cannot be named, has been charged with abandoning a child and failing to provide the necessaries of life.

Officers say they are still trying to locate another suspect in the case.
