Football roof rescue

A TEENAGER had to be rescued by firefighters after he climbed onto a roof to get his football.

The boy became trapped on top of Lidl, Ystrad Mynach, during heavy rain and winds at 8.30pm yesterday.

His friends raised the alarm and firefighters led the cold youngster to safety using a ladder.

A fire spokesman said: “A policeman took him home to his mum.”
