A hero shopper saved a baby boy left in a supermarket car park in 88F heat - after a security guard refused to break into the vehicle over fears he would lose his job.

Jenna Langston forced the boot of the car open when she saw the three-month-old 'dripping in sweat' outside Asda in Barnes Hill, Birmingham.

The baby was left trapped inside the vehicle with no windows open during last week's searing heat.

The 33-year-old care worker says she was forced to take action after a security guard said freeing the baby would be 'breaking and entering'.

It took the little boy's mother 50 minutes to return to the vehicle, despite announcements inside the supermarket.

Ms Langston, of Kings Norton, Birmingham, said: 'I saw a guard standing by a black car and initially thought: 'I hope no-one's left a dog in there.'

'I had already heard a tannoy announcement giving a registration plate while I was inside the store and quite a bit of time had passed since then. But a guard said a baby was inside.

'I dropped my shopping and ran over to the car. I said the baby needed to come out straight away - it was 31C (88F).

'But the guard said they couldn't break in because it would be classed as breaking and entering.

'I said I didn't care and I was going to get the baby out. The guard said: "We can't help you do that. I could lose my job."

'All the doors were locked and none of the windows were open.
'I forced the boot and threw bags and everything else out to get access to the baby.

'I got myself into the boot and put my top half over the back seat. He was dripping with sweat - his babygrow was like it had been through the washing machine.

'I opened the doors to let some air in and someone else asked if I wanted to sit in their car with the baby as it had air conditioning. Then the police and paramedics arrived.

'I handed the baby over to the ambulance crew. They said he seemed fine but they had to take him to hospital.

'There was still no sign of the car driver - it had been around 50 minutes by now. Then she appeared, walking slowly back to her car.

'I screamed at her and asked what she had been thinking. I was really distressed. But she just looked at the floor.

'I'm still shaken now - I haven't slept properly for a few nights.'

The fuming shopper also wrote on Facebook after the ordeal: 'WTAF There’s some really d****** people in this world.
