Guelph police charged a man with child abandonment over the weekend after he left a two-year-old child home alone.

According to the police report, officers stopped the suspect's vehicle at around 8:35 a.m. on Sunday after seeing his licence plate and discovering he was wanted.

After the man was arrested, he confessed to the police that his two-year-old child was home alone with the door unlocked.
