An Garda Siochana bosses were so worried for the little one’s welfare that they ordered the force’s helicopter to brace storm force winds to help search for her
The infant, who is only 10 months old, was left to fend for herself in the middle of the night. Gardai were alerted after a man walked into a Garda station at 2am on Saturday morning to report the baby girl was alone in the car which was parked somewhere in North Dublin, reports the Irish Mirror.

And Garda bosses were so worried for the tot’s welfare that they ordered the force’s helicopter to brace storm force winds to help search for her. “The operation to find the baby was huge, there were cars from all over the place looking for her in the middle of the night,” a source told us. The drama began at around 2am on Saturday when the panicked man ran in to Clondalkin Garda station in Dublin and pleaded for officers to help her. Sources say Garda experts managed to ping – or locate – the man’s mobile phone to an industrial estate near Mulhuddart in West Dublin. But the information was not precise and pointed to it being anywhere within 5km of the ping so dozens of cars, and the force helicopter, converged on the area and searched every metre of it. Officers combed the area and managed to locate the car at 4am some 2km away – with the little girl safe and well inside. It is understood the baby was taken to Temple Street Children’s Hospital where she later received a clean bill of health. A man has now been charged over the incident and is expected to appear at Dublin District Court today. A Garda spokeswoman said: “Gardai in Clondalkin investigating an alleged offence under the Children’s Act 2001 have charged a male to appear before the Criminal Courts of Justice on Monday 23rd October 2023. “As a person has been charged to appear before Court and the investigation involves a child An Garda Siochana is not in a position to provide any further comment.”Join our new WhatsApp community!
