Brandon Green, a 14-month-old, was locked inside his mother’s car while a fire crew tried to get him out.

Kirsty Green, 27, left her son Brandon in the backseat of her car to load her recently purchased groceries into the trunk, per Metro. However, she accidentally left her car keys in the trunk along with the groceries.

Before she could get into her car to pop the trunk and retrieve her keys, Brandon activated the car’s central locking system, shutting himself in.

Green began to panic, and staff from the grocery store called for rescue.

A crew from Bude Community Fire Station soon showed up and attempted to free the toddler from the car using hand tools. But when a crew member noticed a two-pence coin in Brandon’s mouth, they decided to take quicker action, per the Independent.

Firefighters smashed a rear window, climbed through and returned the boy to his mother, uninjured.

Despite the stressful ordeal, Green seems to have taken a cue from her son and has a good sense of humor about the whole thing.

What a cheeky kid.
