CLINTON TOWNSHIP (AP) — A woman was arrested after three girls — aged 6, 3 and 2 — were left in a locked minivan on what would become the hottest day so far this year.
The woman, 37, was shopping in Clinton Township when police were called about 9 a.m. Sunday. The van's front windows were opened slightly.
Officials say the temperature was about 77 degrees at the time. It reached 96 degrees Sunday in the Detroit area.
Clinton Township police Capt. Richard Maierle tells The Detroit News the 6-year-old girl was "sweating profusely" when officers coaxed her into unlocking a door.
Security video showed the woman, who is the mother to two of the children and aunt to the third, was in the store about 25 minutes.
She was released after posting bond.
