The body of a newborn baby has been found wrapped in a beach towel on a street in Bradford.

Emergency services were called to the scene and are now appealing for help to find the infant’s mother.

West Yorkshire Police released a picture of the beach towel, which depicts the island of Fuerteventura in yellow on a purple background, in the hope it will help identify the woman, who they believe is likely to be from the Bradford area.

Officers say they want to ensure she receives the “appropriate medical care and support”.

In a statement, head of midwifery for Bradford, Sara Hollins, said: “Our main priority is to find the mum of the baby as we are concerned for her well-being.

“We are urging mum or any friends of mum to call the police on 101 or via 07753 672648 (you can text if you want) quoting log 564.”
