The NYPD and Canadian police are
working together to find the family of a Brooklyn baby who wound up
locked inside a hotel room safe in Niagara Falls.
A hotel maintenance worker was called to the room in the Howard Johnson hotel by the infant's parents on Tuesday morning, and freed the crying baby from the safe, but the family left the hotel before police arrived, the New York Daily News reports.
According to CBC News police and hotel staff are still unsure of how the baby, who's believed to be under a year old, wound up in the small safe.
"At this point we don't know if it's anything more than a preventable accident," Detective-Constable Amanda Sanders of the Niagara Regional Police's child abuse unit said.
Detective Sgt. Scott Kraushar of the Niagara Regional Police told the Daily News that neither parent confessed to putting the baby into the safe and there was no indication that another child had placed the infant in there.
"We are not anticipating charges," he added, but police are searching for the family, who are from Brooklyn, New York, "to ensure the welfare of the infant."
Kraushar told CBC News that U.S. border patrol was made aware of the incident and has not reported the family's 2015 grey Ford van with New Jersey plates crossing back into the U.S.
