A Municipal Police patrol attended and rescued t child, with the help of staff from a local mechanical workshop.

The father of the child, who then returned to the scene, explained that he had only just gone to the bar to take a “pincho of cod”.

The now faces charges of a crime of negligence, according to the statement.

The Municipal Police have issued the reminder once again that a car in full sun can exceed 49 degrees in a period of 20 minutes, when the outside temperature does not exceed 29 degrees, and so you cannot leave people or animals locked inside vehicles.
