Baby’s body found on conveyor belt at Victorville recycling plant
Homicide detectives are investigating after the body of a baby was found on a conveyor belt at a Victorville recycling plant Thursday, officials said.
A caller reported that the baby’s body was found wrapped in a blanket, San Bernardino County sheriff’s spokeswoman Cindy Bachman said. Few other details -- including the baby’s age and gender -- were immediately available, Bachman added.
Investigators from the San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner’s Department remained at the plant, located in the 17000 block of Abbey Lane, on Thursday afternoon.
The general manager for the recycling plant at the address could not immediately be reached for comment.
