After being alerted shortly before 5pm on Sunday, there was a strong response from Humberside Police and the East Midlands Ambulance Service. At least four police cars and vans were on the scene, as well as two ambulances.
Police officers were spotted conducting house-to-house inquiries and interviewing shocked residents. The quiet Nunsthorpe is home to families and retirees in two-family and terraced houses.
A resident told Grimsby Live, “Mom must have been too young to know or didn’t want anyone to know she was pregnant. We hope only she gets the care she needs and her baby.”
Medical teams were on the scene in minutes and a police cordon was set up. A spokesman for the East Midlands Ambulance Service said: “We received a call at 4.58pm on June 19 at a private address in Grimsby. The caller reported emergency medical care. We sent two ambulances with a crew and two patients were taken to Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital. “
