Law enforcement officers stand guard at an apartment complex in the 2500 block of West Sixth Street, where police say an infant was found in a trash receptacle early Thursday, July 7, 2016.

No arrests have been made in the case of a 9-month-old girl found in a trash receptacle early Thursday morning at a Lawrence apartment complex, police say.

Just before 2:30 a.m. Thursday police received a report that the infant was left in the trash at an apartment complex in the 2500 block of West Sixth Street, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads. The baby suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to a Kansas City area hospital in serious but stable condition.

The apartments in the complex are owned and managed by Country Club on 6th.

Police did not say precisely where the infant was found, but multiple residents said the apartments all share a centralized dumpster that compacts trash.

Rhoads said police have been in contact with the infant’s parents and detectives are still investigating.

Further information was not available Friday.
