Security Guards Found Fetus In The Bag Of A 17 Year-Old Teen

Two 17 year-old girls were stopped by security guards for allegedly shoplifting at a Victoria's Secret on Thursday afternoon. However, they found a very unusual thing inside the bag one of them was carrying - a human fetus.

New York Police Detective Michael DeBonis said that the two girls were placed in police custody following the discovery on Thursday at a lingerie store in Herald Square, New York.

Police also said that one of the suspects was taken to the hospital, but didn't comment further on local media reports whether the girl taken to the hospital was the mother of the discovered fetus.

"It was a human fetus," said Sergeant John Buthorn. "The medical examiner will now determine the cause of death."

The girls were charged of criminal possession of stolen property and petit larceny.

"While inspecting the bags of the two females, security officers discovered a strong odor and found a fetus inside the bag of suspect No. 1," police said in a statement.

It wasn't clear though if the fetus was alive or not when delivered.
