A 27-year-old woman in New Zealand has been arrested suspected of assault and neglect of a child. In connection with a bus trip, a two-year-old girl was found in the woman's luggage - stored in a separate luggage compartment in the lower part of the bus.

The bag had aroused the bus driver's suspicions and the two-year-old was found after the police were called to the scene, north of Auckland.

The little girl is reported to have been very warm, but otherwise unharmed, said police officer Simon Harrison.

She is now being taken to hospital for a check-up. The 27-year-old woman has been arrested. It is not clear what relationship the girl and the woman have.
