Sports Direct baby birth: Police investigate 'unusual circumstances

 

 

Police are investigating the "unusual circumstances" of the birth of a baby at a sports retail warehouse.

 

The boy is seriously ill after being born at the Sports Direct distribution centre in Shirebrook, Derbyshire, late on 1 January.

 

Both the mother and her baby were taken to hospital for treatment.

 

A spokesperson for Sports Direct declined to comment because of the police investigation and would not confirm if the mother was an employee.

 

'Serious but stable'

 

A spokesperson for Derbyshire Police said: "The baby was taken to a neonatal unit where he remains.

 

"The baby is in a serious but stable condition. The mother, a woman in her 20s, was also taken to hospital for treatment.

 

"Officers are still investigating the circumstances surrounding the birth."

 

Police were called by the ambulance service at around 23:15 GMT on 1 January to report the birth of the baby.

 

A spokesperson said he was born in "unusual circumstances" but would not give more details.

 

Sports Direct has about 400 stores across the UK and describes itself as "the UK's leading sports retailer by revenue and operating profit".

 

It was founded by Mike Ashley, the billionaire owner of Newcastle United.

And how could this all effect Ashley? Doubt it could.

 

I don't think it can as he's got people in the company who run it and will be accountable.

 

Could be bad for Sports Direct though, might be something and nothing but could be brand damaging for them.

Sadly, I don't think the people who shop at SD will give a s***.

 

Yeah fair point.

That's the idea btw.

 

Don't going to SJP or not buying anything at the club shops will never happen and won't get Ashley to do anything.

 

A group of people, all dressed in black & white shirts burning down some of shops might get him to sell the club.

The "unusual circumstances" are that the baby was found dumped in the ladies toilets.

 

Didn't know they sold them too.
