A TODDLER was rescued by firefighters after accidentally being locked inside her grandmother’s car at Ideford Combe, near Kingsteignton, yesterday (December 14).

The little one dozed throughout the brief ordeal after the motorist’s self-lock system was activated with the keys inside the vehicle.

Firefighters from Newton Abbot raced the scene after the alarm was raised just before 11am.

They used special tools to get into the car and re-unite the separated twosome.
