Plot[]
P.C. Ramsey investigates noises in a rubbish chute, and finds a newborn baby which he rushes to hospital. In the CAD room, P.C. Haynes and the new W.P.C. Brind argue over why anyone would dump a baby.
P.C. Edwards and P.C. Melvin follow up on the theft of items from a church, and Edwards is surprised when Melvin tells him he's a born-again Christian. D.C. Dashwood discovers the church property in an antique shop, and Sgt. Peters and D.C. Carver arrest the culprits in another church. Edwards and Melvin catch a woman removing her property from her ex-husband's house.
