Following an earlier police appeal in relation to a placenta which was found in Werneth Park earlier yesterday (Friday), officers have now located mum and baby.

Police are pleased to say that they are both safe and doing well. 

Alongside medical professionals, officers conducted several enquiries and are satisfied that the identity of those who have come forward match the placenta found.
