TWO toddlers trapped inside a car were freed by firefighters in Hillingdon on Friday.

The rescue team was called at 2.49pm after a mother and aunt stepped out of the car and the children, aged around two, accidentally locked the doors behind them.

The children were said to be in good spirits while their mother watched on concerned as her car was broken into to recover them.

“They were rescued safely with smiles on their faces,” said the watch manager.
