Police appeal for mum to come forward after baby boy's body found at Waterbeach recycling centre
WATCH Detective Superintendent John Massey appeal to the baby's mother to get in touch with police
A police investigation is under way after the body of a newborn baby was discovered at a recycling centre.
Officers were called to the site on Ely Road, Waterbeach, at midday on Tuesday after the body of a little boy was discovered.
Cambridgeshire police said they were appealing for anyone with any information to get in touch and were keeping an open mind about the circumstances that led to the baby's death.
Det Supt John Massey issued an appeal directly to the baby boy's mother.
He said: "This is an incredibly sad and upsetting incident for everyone involved and we are in the process of trying to establish more details about what has happened.
"We would like to make a direct appeal to the baby boy's mother to get in touch with us – it may be she needs medical care or is in a vulnerable situation.
“We are trying our hardest to get to the bottom of what has taken place but we cannot do that alone, so I would also appeal to the public for their help.
“Any information, no matter how small, could help the investigation run by our specialist child safeguarding team; even if that is given anonymously to us or Crimestoppers.”
Anyone with information is asked to share it with police online.
