The body of a newborn baby has been found at a waste management site in West Yorkshire.
Police are appealing for the baby’s mother to come forward as officers have “serious concerns” about her health.
The child was discovered on Wednesday night by staff at the site, situated on Valley Road in Shipley, near Bradford.
The plant processes material from homes in Bradford and Leeds.
West Yorkshire Police are trying to find out where in the county the baby may have come from.
A full post-mortem examination is due to take place later to determine the cause of death, but it is believed the child was only very recently born.
Detective Superintendent Mark Ridley, from West Yorkshire Police’s Homicide and Major Enquiry Team, said: “My priority is the condition and welfare of the mother and ensuring she receives the medical care she needs.
“The mother has clearly been through a terribly traumatic experience and I would ask her to come forward and speak to us.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously and in confidence on 0800 555 111.
