We want to hear from anyone who has any information concerning this incident or from anybody who may be able to assist us in identifying the mother of this baby, who is believed to have been born within the last few days.
Whilst this investigation is in its early stages, I want to stress that our priority is the safety and well being of the mother at this time.
