A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said: “Mum was getting upset and called police as a last resort.

“A kind technician came round and managed to get into car for us. No damage was caused and the baby never woke up!”

“Local officers from Huddersfield police station attended as well as an officer from the Roads Policing Unit.

“One officer went to the Ford garage to ask for their help as the only option would have been to break a window.”
