Prosecutors have withdrawn all charges against a woman accused of leaving four children unattended in a car at a Sydney shopping centre.

Prosecutors have withdrawn all charges against Maysoon Ibrahim Jubran, 50, who had been accused of leaving four children aged between seven and 11 unattended in an unlocked car at a shopping centre in Bass Hill, southwest Sydney, on December 9.

Ms Jubran had faced three separate charges: common assault, resisting or hindering police officers executing their duty, and failing to disclose the identity of passengers in the motor vehicle. Police alleged that an off-duty female sergeant removed the emotionally distressed children from the unlocked car before Ms Jubran, a resident of Condell Park, approached her and became aggressive.

According to the allegations, Ms Jubran assaulted the sergeant before returning the children to the car and driving away. However, prosecutors withdrew the entire case when it came before Bankstown Local Court. Ms Jubran had previously attended court hearings with supporters and indicated a willingness to resolve the matter.
