Baby found wrapped in plastic bag near Seymour road

A live baby was found in a plastic bag on the side of the road in Seymour yesterday afternoon.

Our news-gathering partners at Network Indiana are reporting that a person walking their dog called the police just before 4 p.m. Tuesday and said they found the infant on South Jackson Park Drive, according to Detective Sgt. C.J. Foster.

The infant was found alive along a fence row about 20 yards from the road, police said. The child was taken for an examination at Schneck Medical Center and determined to be healthy.

Foster says that the department wants to remind residents that the city has a Safe Haven Baby Box at Seymour Fire Station 3. It became available to residents in June.

No arrests have been made and police are investigating
