A pair of Camden County police officers shattered the window of a vehicle Thursday morning in order to rescue a 5-month-old baby from the hot interior, according to officials.
Officer Belinda Villegas-Ramos had been on a secondary assignment providing security at a TD Bank at the intersection of 5th and Martin Luther King Boulevard, at approximately 11:45 a.m., when a customer reported that there was a crying baby in a vehicle outside.
"Officer Villegas-Ramos went outside, and found the baby screaming and sweating profusely," said Lt. Richard Verticelli. "She called in for assistance, and asked permission to break the window. When she was told to go ahead, she used her flashlight to strike the window."
Another officer, Joseph McGrath, soon arrived, and used his police baton to help shatter the window, according to Verticelli.
Villegas-Ramos then retrieved the child from the car seat in the back of the vehicle.
The baby was later taken to Cooper University Hospital, and it expected to be OK.
The mother, 30-year-old Deonna Moore, of Sicklerville, has been charged with child endangerment, police said. It was later discovered that Moore had outstanding municipal warrants for her arrest, and she was taken to Camden County Jail.
According to police, the state division of Child Protection and Permanency — formerly the Division of Youth and Family Services, responded to the scene to see to the child's needs.
