Police officers broke into a car in Huntly yesterday to get to a baby which had been left alone.
Senior Sergeant Dave Simes said a couple who were out shopping saw the baby left unattended in a car in the public car park about 3pm.
"When they returned from shopping
they noticed the child still in the car, in distressed state, so they rang police and officers came down.
"On seeing the baby the officers have broken a window to gain access to the car, removed the baby and taken it back to the police station and commenced trying to locate the child's parents.
"The parents were located a short time later, they had been at an appointment with a Government agency and not, as some had suggested, in the hotel next to the car park."
