The remains of two newborn babies were found inside a New Jersey recycling center, said officials on Thursday.
An “investigation at the facility led to the recovery of another newborn approximately six hours later,” the officials wrote in a statement.
Autopsies for the two are currently pending. Officials have not released a cause of death.
According to Colgate’s website, items can be picked up or dropped off. It’s not clear how the newborns got there.
The recycling facility can take in as much as 1,000 tons of recyclable materials each day, and it operates 24 hours per day, according to the website.
An investigation into the incident is underway. No arrests have been made.
Anyone with information about the case is being asked to call Detective Raymond Quick of the New Brunswick Police Department at 732-745-5200, or Detective Sean Sullivan of the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office at 732-745-4060.
