A newborn baby is fighting for her life after being abandoned outside of a Mission, B.C. daycare Friday.
RCMP officers secured the scene with police tape around Heritage Park Child Care Centre, located on Prentis Avenue and Stave Lake Street.
“We had a call to that area…and that’s when we found the baby,” Insp. Annette Fellner said.
Police remain tightlipped on the investigation and haven’t disclosed exactly where the baby was discovered.
But the focus of the scene on Friday showed a white tent was set up over a dumpster, which was covered by a blue tarp.
Officers with Victim Services also attended the scene.
On Monday, authorities told CTV News the baby girl was found in critical condition and taken to hospital where she remains.
“It’s definitely an isolated incident and not something that we do see often,” Fellner said.
Police said a 21-year-old Mission woman was arrested and released in connection with the incident. No charges have been laid.
Authorities would not comment on whether the woman is related to the newborn.
