ANDOVER, Minn. (AP) -- A 25-year-old Andover woman was arrested after leaving her baby locked in a minivan with the windows closed while she shopped at Target, Anoka County authorities said Wednesday.
The sheriff's office said another customer spotted the van with the child inside in the store's parking lot in Andover and called authorities. The temperature was 90 degrees and authorities said the baby was sweating heavily when removed from the van.
The baby was taken to a hospital, where initial exams indicated the child was stable, the sheriff's office said. The store's surveillance video indicated the baby had been inside the van for 30 minutes.
The mother was found inside the store and arrested for child endangerment. She was booked and released. The Anoka County attorney's office will determine whether she'll be charged.
