Mesa woman finds newborn at doorstep

Posted

A Mesa woman living in the area of 5600 East McKellips Road found a baby at her doorstep Friday morning, police said.

The Mesa Police Department received a call about 11:20 a.m. and arrived at the home to find a newborn wrapped in a blanket.

Police said the baby did not appear to be more than a day old.

Mesa fire and medical personnel were called, and the baby was taken to a hospital and appeared to be in good condition, police said.

"The resident stated that she heard her doorbell ring. When she made it to the front door she thought a package had maybe been delivered to her door. She opened the door and found the baby on the ground," police stated in a release.

Anyone with information about this incident should contact the Mesa Police Department.

Police also advise: "If anyone is in a similar situation please use one of the many safe haven spots set up around the city. You can drop a baby off no questions asked to any on-duty staff member at a fire station, hospital and EMT. There are also welfare and adoption agencies that participate in the program."
