Woman Charged After Two Children Rescued From Smoke-Logged House, Christchurch
Canterbury Metro Area Commander Superintendent Lane Todd:
About 10pm on Tuesday 9 July, emergency services were called to a smoke alarm sounding at a Eureka Street property in Aranui. Inside, firefighters found two young children who had been left alone at the property.
Fortunately they were rescued from the address before a fire started and were unharmed.
Police would like to thank the neighbours to the property who called for help and prevented a tragic outcome.
Yesterday morning a 35-year-old was taken into custody on two charges of ill-treatment of a child, resisting Police, and possession of a cannabis plant.
She is due to reappear in the Christchurch District Court on 31 July.
As the case is before the court, Police are unable to comment further.
