A 20-year-old man will appear in court Monday to face charges relating to a November incident when a stolen vehicle was found with a baby girl inside, in a car seat.

Regina police picked up the suspect in an unrelated investigation.

The crime happened in November 2016. A car was stolen from the Cathedral neighbourhood with a one-year-old girl inside at the time. An hour later, police found the car abandoned. The girl was still inside, safe and unharmed.
