A woman has been charged by police following an investigation into “unexplained injuries” allegedly suffered by a baby in Dundee.
Officers swooped on an address in the Kirkton area of Dundee in November last year after concerns were raised for a child.
Neighbours looked on with concern as they observed a police presence at the property for three days while they made they made their inquiries.
Seven months on, police have now confirmed that a woman has been charged by officers in relation to alleged incidents between November 17 and 19.
A spokeswoman for Police Scotland confirmed that a woman had been charged but declined to elaborate on the exact nature of the allegation.
The spokeswoman said: “Police Scotland can confirm a 25-year-old woman has been charged with an alleged incident in the Kirkton area of Dundee on November 19 2015.
“A report has been submitted to the procurator fiscal.”
A spokeswoman for the Crown Office said that it had received a report into “alleged incidents” between November 17 and 19 last year, which is now under consideration.
She said: “The procurator fiscal at Dundee received a report relating to a 25-year-old woman in connection with alleged incidents between 17 and 19 November 2015.
“The report remains under consideration.”
The exact nature of the alleged injuries has never been revealed. At the time of the investigation, police announced they had launched a joint probe, along with “health partners”, as well as the Dundee City Council children and families services, into the circumstances of the injuries that were allegedly caused to the child.
Those living in the street said they had seen both forensics and CID at the house during the probe, while uniformed officers were also in the area. One officer — wearing a high-visibility jacket — could also be seen standing at the front of the property as well as another colleague guarding the back door.
For the three days of their presence, a marked police car was situated at the front of the house. They were said to have been arriving and leaving “in shifts” over the 72-hour period.
