Longueuil police are looking for the person who left a newborn baby boy on a doorstep on Sunday at around 11 p.m.

Police said the person rang the doorbell and fled the scene. The people inside the home on Bourgeoys Street immediately called 911.

The newborn was found swaddled in a blanket and his umbilical cord still attached when he was found, according to police.

Longueuil police and paramedics provided care to the child upon arrival and he then was taken to hospital and is in good health.

Mélanie Mercille, spokesperson for the Service de police de l'agglomération de Longueuil (SPAL), said the infant was born at 34 weeks.

Mercille said she couldn't disclose the gender of the person who left the baby at the doorstep and that in her 17-year career as an officer, she had never seen such a case.

Longueuil police said they would go door to door on Monday to determine whether anyone in the area has camera footage that could help them locate the newborn's parents. Analyses will also be carried out to help police find the person who dropped the child off at the doorstep.

An undercover Quebec provincial police officer was inside a Laval, Que., Starbucks trailing the organized crime figure who was fatally shot there Wednesday, Radio-Canada has learned.

Charalambos Theologou, also known as "Bobby the Greek," was shot so quickly that all teams involved in the surveillance operation were taken by surprise, according to Radio-Canada sources.

The two people injured in the shooting were members of Theologou's gang, the Chomedey Greeks.




A team of at least five cars, including an operations supervisor, was deployed on the ground to monitor Theologou's movements, who'd been under police surveillance since leaving his private residence that morning, Radio-Canada sources say. Around 10 police officers were observing the gang leader, sources say.

The Sûreté du Québec, however, is not confirming the information due to its ongoing investigation.

According to surveillance camera footage from inside the Starbucks, the entire incident unfolded in 15 seconds. Two suspects are seen entering quickly, discharging their firearms at their target and two people accompanying him, then fleeing the scene.

After following the recent case in KY where the baby wasn't left somewhere to live, I'm grateful someone gave the baby a chance.

Worried about the mom and hope she is okay.
