An appeal to urgently help find the mother of a newborn baby found dead in warehouse has been issued by police. <\/p>\n
The body of the little girl was discovered on Thursday within a waste pile, which had been transported by a private waste operator to a site in Rowley Regis, in the Black Country.<\/p>\n
West Midlands Police said it was carrying out forensic examinations to identify the girl and establish how she died. <\/p>\n
“While we don’t yet know what has happened, what we do know is that there must be a mother out there who is in real need of help \u2212 and she is our absolute priority at the moment,” Det Ch Insp Kylie Westlake, of the force, said.<\/p>\n
“I really want to speak to her to make sure she’s okay, and to ensure that she can get the help that she urgently needs.”<\/p>\n
The force said it believed the baby was unknowingly transported to the industrial site on Station Road on Wednesday before the discovery just before noon the day after. <\/p>\n
Officers have been checking CCTV and speaking to hospitals in order to find the mother. <\/p>\n
“The operator involved, which is not being linked to the death, works across the West Midlands, Staffordshire, Warwickshire and West Mercia areas,” the force added. <\/p>\n
