A Great Neck Plaza woman was arrested for allegedly leaving a child in a car unattended.
On July 24 at 6 p.m., someone called 911 who observed a child left unattended inside a parked vehicle in the parking lot of 1240 Old Country Road in Westbury. When police arrived, they observed an 8-year-old boy inside the vehicle with the windows partially open. Responding officers gained access to the vehicle and safely removed the child.
