Local Police in Rojales responded to two incidents where children were found locked inside vehicles and needed to be rescued by breaking the windows. In the first incident on the third of February around six PM, a resident alerted the police about a child inside a car. The police quickly assessed the situation and took action to safely remove the child by breaking the furthest window to minimise risk.
On the tenth of February, at half past one PM, another call was received regarding a child locked in a vehicle near the local health centre. Once again, the police had to break a window to rescue the child as the parent could not unlock the car. Fortunately, both incidents ended safely, highlighting the urgent need for awareness of vehicle safety.
Local authorities stressed the importance of never leaving children unattended in vehicles, as it may be considered neglect and can lead to dangerous situations. Despite the happy resolutions of these two events, the police highlighted that they have been aware of similar situations that have not ended well, including cases of vehicle thefts with children inside.
In light of these events, Antonio López, the councillor for Security, has called on residents to promptly report any suspicious or dangerous situations to the police. He expressed gratitude to the informing citizens for their quick actions, which aid in ensuring the safety of vulnerable individuals.
