Charity offers £5,000 reward over discovery of placenta in Southampton
Crimestoppers is urging anyone who may know something to contact them anonymously as soon as possible
A £5,000 reward is being offered for information into the discovery of a placenta in Southampton by the charity Crimestoppers
On Wednesday 21 June, a report was received about a placenta being found in the Holly Brook Park area. Since then, investigators have attempted to locate the mother and baby but without success and now consider that a reward may encourage someone to come forward with what they know or suspect.
Beth Simpson, Hampshire Regional Manager for the charity Crimestoppers, said: “There is increasing concern for the wellbeing of the baby and its mother, who are yet to be found. We are urging anyone who may know something to contact our charity anonymously as soon as possible.
“We have put up this reward as it is believed that someone may know or suspect who the mother is and we hope it will prompt someone to speak to us. Crimestoppers, which is completely independent of the police, keeps its promise of 100% anonymity to more than a thousand people who trust us with their crime information every single day.
