A newborn baby was found outside the front door of the South Tuggeranong ACT Fire & Rescue Station in Conder, about 30km south of the CBD, about 7.20am on November 27.
Information from the public has led police to believe a blue SUV was at the fire station, located at the roundabout of Tharwa Drive and Drakeford Drive, before the baby was dropped off.
“They brought the baby inside under advice of the ACTAS (ACT Ambulance Service) clinician, took care of the baby and called ACTAS, AFP and ACT Policing to come and assist,” ACT Fire & Rescue superintendent Chris White said.
The baby, who was estimated to be 24 hours old, was taken to hospital by ambulance with no visible injuries.
“Our sole concern is the health and wellbeing of the mother,” ACT Policing detective superintendent Alex Nicolson said.
“I urge the mother to seek medical assistance. Please go to hospital, call an ambulance or call the police.”
Investigators are urging anyone with dashcam footage of the fire station between 5am and 7.30am on Thursday to come forward.
Locals who believe a friend or family member may be the mother are asked to encourage her to seek medical help as soon as possible.
