The Guardia Civil rescued a little girl who was locked inside a car after her mother accidentally left the keys inside.
On May 13 at 8:30 AM, agents from the Citizen Security Unit (USECIC) of the Torrevieja Civil Guard were patrolling the town when several people ran up to them.
The citizens told the agents that a woman had accidentally locked her keys in the car with her baby still inside.
The woman, a 36-year-old from Belgium, couldn t speak Spanish and communicated through gestures that her six-month-old baby girl was locked in the car.
With the temperature rising and the danger to the baby increasing, the agents assessed the situation.
They saw the baby in a car seat in the back and used a special tool to break the passenger window.
Thanks to the quick actions of the agents and the help of the neighbours, the baby was safely rescued and in good health.
