Baby left at St Paul Cathedral now safe and healthy

“They picked a good spot to drop him off. It’s a church – we love children,” Leonhardt continued.

“In this job you see so much bad in people. Violence, death and destruction. It’s just nice to have a call like this every once in a while, to remind you why you wear the badge,” Sgt. Charlie Anderson stated.
