Women arrested for neglect, larceny at Northlake Mall

The neglect charge stems from a Good Samaritan finding a toddler barefoot in the parking lot in 88-degree heat. The suspects left the child in the car, police said.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Two women were arrested after CMPD asked for the public's help in finding two suspects involved in child neglect and larceny at Northlake Mall.

Resa Washington and Tiyana Edmonds were charged in the case. 

It's a story we reported on earlier this week. The duo allegedly left a 2-year-old child in a car at the mall.

A Good Samaritan found the child wandering barefoot around the parking lot in 88-degree heat. The suspects entered the store and concealed merchandise in shopping bags and then passed all points of sale to exit, police said.

One suspect then took the child from the witness and took off in a vehicle, according to police.
