A security guard at the Victoria's Secret in New York City's Herald Square uncovered a dead fetus in the bag of a teenage customer Thursday afternoon, authorities said.

According to the Daily News, security personnel stopped two teenage girls at the midtown store to question them about shoplifting when the deceased baby was found.

"It was discovered that one of the females had what we believe to be a fetus [in her bag]," Sgt. Lee Jones of the New York Police Department told Business Insider.

NEW YORK (WABC) -- The medical examiner's office says the autopsy on the remains of a baby whose body was found in the bag of a teenage girl at Victoria's Secret is inconclusive pending further testing.

The results could determine whether two teenage girls face serious charges after one of them was found carrying the dead fetus in a bag while shopping at the store in Manhattan. Investigators are trying to determine whether the baby was born alive, and how he died.
