Dundee man accused of leaving baby in car on hot day

A man is facing court accused of leaving a child unattended “for an extended period” in a locked car in direct sunlight on a hot day.

Nawaz Mohammed is alleged to have “wilfully neglected” the child on August 22 this year in Dundee’s Dalcraig Crescent in a manner likely to cause the child unnecessary suffering or injury to health.

Prosecutors say the child was left alone in the locked car for a period of time, with the car parked in direct sunlight in hot weather conditions and with no ventilation within the vehicle.

Mohammed, 37, of Brington Road, Dundee, did not enter a plea when the case called at Dundee Sheriff Court.
