A couple and baby that police were looking for to confirm their well-being have been located.
On June 2, 2018, police from the Saint-Léonard detachment received a report from the Quality Inn Motel in Saint-André, N.B., that they believed a woman had delivered a baby in one of the rooms being rented. No one had seen the woman and the baby and there was concern for their well-being. A man had also been staying at the motel in the same room.
