Officers from Eastern Beaches Police Area Command were told by several witnesses they had seen an object wrapped in a plastic bag which they believed to be a dead baby.
They were joined by personnel from the Police Marine Area Command, Polair, the Public Order & Riot Squad and NSW Ambulance for a search on Sunday evening, alongside a number of rescue helicopters. There were no further sightings.
The search was suspended at 7.45pm due to poor visibility.
It is due to recommence at 7am on Monday.
