A short time later, the concerned witness notified officers from the Chifley Police District who attended immediately due to concerns for the welfare of the child.
Police found the child unsupervised and despite efforts were unable to gain a response from outside the vehicle.
Due to the conditions, officers forced entry via a window.
A short time later, a 22-year-old woman arrived and unlocked the car.
