Police have laid charges after investigating an incident of child neglect in Prince Albert, Sask. Officers were initially called to a break and enter in progress at a residence in the 1100-block of 14th Street West around 12:50 a.m. CT on Sept. 26.
The original call was unfounded; however, police were concerned about the welfare of children inside the residence.
A joint investigation was conducted with members of mobile crisis, Indian child and family services and social services. As a result, police arrested a 41-year-old woman and a 37-year-old man.
