“At this moment, our priority is to ensure that the mother is okay and that she receives the appropriate medical attention. This is likely to be a traumatic time for her, and I would ask that she makes contact either with us, her local GP or a hospital”, said Detective Inspector Matt Coad.

“We believe that the box was left by a man, aged in his 30s, who was wearing dark clothing. I would also encourage him to come forward so that we can help”, DI Coad added.
