A security guard at the Victoria's Secret in New York City's Herald Square uncovered a dead fetus in the bag of a teenage customer Thursday afternoon, authorities said. According to the Daily News, security personnel stopped two teenage girls at the midtown store to question them about shoplifting when the deceased baby was found.
"It was discovered that one of the females had what we believe to be a fetus [in her bag]," Sgt. Lee Jones of the New York Police Department told Business Insider.
One of the teens was taken to Bellevue Hospital for evaluation after the incident, which occurred at 1:24 p.m., a police department spokesman confirmed to The Huffington Post.
A medical examiner will perform an autopsy on the fetus to determine the cause of death.
It's not clear whether one of the teen girls is the mother of the child. However, according to NBC New York, the hospitalized 17-year-old told police that she had suffered a miscarriage on Wednesday.

I like to think I'm not easily shocked,but for some female teen to be so casual about a miscarriage and dead baby just about bobbles the imagination.
Your baby died yesterday,so you are going to go shopping and take it with you in a shopping bag?
I guess we are supposed to be surprised that she didn't get the body bronzed so she could hang it from her rear view mirror?
