Police had to smash the windows of a car in the midday heat after a crying baby was found locked inside at a West Country car boot sale. When their parent returned officers gave them a "strong words of advice".
At around 1pm on Sunday (May 7) police were called to the sale at Truro Cattle Market over concerns for the welfare of a baby that had been left inside a hot car and was reported to be in distress. Upon arrival, officers had to resort to smashing a window of the vehicle to free the child, who is believed to be around a year old, reports Cornwall Live.
A witness said: "A passer-by saw the baby in the car. It was hot and sunny, no windows were opened, the baby was hot and crying so the staff were called to the car and the police were called and smashed the window. The baby was okay after a cuddle from the police lady.
