A newborn baby boy has died after being abandoned behind a convenience store.
The baby was found wrapped in only a towel behind the Spar shop on Newport Road, Cwmcarn, south Wales, on Thursday and was pronounced dead in hospital.
Superintendent John Burley, of Gwent Police, said: "We are extremely concerned about the health and wellbeing of the mother of the baby and are appealing for her to come forward to receive any medical treatment she may require.
"This is a tragic incident which will sadden the local community and our priority at the moment is finding the mother of the baby.
"I would appeal to anyone who may have been in the vicinity of the Spar store... who may be able to offer any information to assist our inquiry."
He added: "Police also ask anyone with concerns about someone they know, a friend or member of their family, who they think could possibly be connected to this incident to contact them as soon as possible.
"Anyone with information is asked to contact Gwent Police on 101."
