“The drain which was made from concrete blocks which runs horizontally across the car park with a narrow slit along the top to drain water away, was over 100 metres in length. There was no obvious way the hedgehog could get in from the car park and rescuers and residents were baffled by how the hedgehog got inside,” they wrote.
They also added how finally they were able to continue with the process with help of firefighters. “Once they arrived the fire officers were also unsure how to get into the gap easily. They tried various tools to loosen one of the concrete blocks which formed the drain but without any luck. After trying their best not to destroy the concrete block, they were left with no other option but to break the concrete block open using a tool normally used to force open car doors at road accidents,” they added. Finally, they were able to rescue the animal.
In the concluding lines, the organization mentioned that the hedgehog is presently under care and will soon be released into the wild.
