NORFOLK COUNTY - It was a scary scene for a parent in Norfolk County after their toddler was accidentally locked inside their car.
OPP were called to Old Brock Street on Sunday afternoon. When officers arrived on scene, they found a very upset parent who told them their 2 year old had been locked inside the vehicle for about 10 minutes.
