Two tennage girls get caught shoplifting at "Victorias Secret" with dead baby in shopping bag
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Two teenage girls who were
suspected of shoplifting were stopped as they were leaving the
Victoria’s Secret store in Herald’s Square, and a security guard
checking their bags found what appeared to be a fetus, the NYPD said
Thursday.
The girls, both 17, were stopped by the store’s loss prevention
officer. It was then that one of the girls admitted she had “a baby in
the bag,” CBS 2 reported.
The guard called police. The girl later told police that she had
given birth on Wednesday and did not know what to do with the fetus.
It was not immediately clear where she gave birth.
One girl was taken to Bellevue Hospital, and the other was being
questioned at the Midtown South Precinct, CBS 2 reported. The Medical
Examiner’s Office was performing an autopsy on the human remains found
inside the bag.
Nearby residents told CBS 2′s Hazel Sanchez they were stunned by the news.
“It’s sad and it hurts because it’s still a life that was born and now it’s gone,” said Esther Gross of the Upper West Side.
“I have two daughters. The youngest one is 18 and she would probably
be terrified. But there’s so many things you could do. Leave it in a
church. Go to the hospital and just say I don’t want it, which is not a
good thing at all, but it’s better than doing this,” added Ivetzy Sosa
of Washington Heights.
Police were examining surveillance video from inside the store.
