Col. Rean added: ''The motorcycle has a registration plate but it could have been bought informally or borrowed from a friend.<br /><br />''If we can find the mother, we will aim to return the baby to the family. Or if she cannt care for him, the grandparents may raise the child.<br /><br />''He is healthy and was not harmed in the incident.
