Teen ‘found with foetus in bag’

The results of an autopsy could determine whether two teenage girls are hit with serious charges after one of them was found carrying a foetus in a bag while shopping at a US store.

Police were called to the Victoria’s Secret store in Manhattan after a security guard on the lookout of shoplifters searched the 17-year-old girls, discovered a strong odour coming from one of their bags and found the foetus.

The girls were arrested on charges of larceny and criminal possession of stolen property, police said. The teenager thought to have given birth was hospitalised, and the other was questioned by police.
