Police and fire officers were searching the Usine Pond in Ste Madeleine last night, following a report that a woman threw a baby into the water.
Southern Division police said they did not know if the report was a hoax, but had no choice but to search the pond to see if it was true.
Around 8 pm, police received a report that a woman was seen walking towards to the pond with a baby in her hand. Minutes later, she walked back to the Manahambre Road without the baby and entered a gold
Nissan Almera sedan and left. Ste Madeleine police responded and divers attached the Fire Service began combing the bank of the pond.
Police detectives were also hoping to source video footage from nearby CCTV systems in hope of finding the alleged car and woman.
In recent times, the Usine Pond, which was used to supply the now-defunct Ste Madeleine sugar factory, has been turned into a dumping ground for killers. Last April, the decomposed body of a mentally impaired man, David Conlisse, was found floating in the pond. In 2017, two men, including a Canadian national, were murdered and dumped in the pond.
