A Balham mum has been cautioned after leaving her baby behind in a shop.

It is thought the 29-year-old woman fled after being challenged by staff at M&S in Bromley for using a fake credit card.

The woman was with a 20-year-old man - believed to be the baby's godfather - when she fled. Both were arrested and cautioned yesterday.

Social services are now looking after the seven-month-old girl.
