While there have occasionally been cases of residents locked out of their homes, it's less common for them to be locked in.
But that's the fate of occupants of a property on Grape Lane in Whitby on Good Friday evening.
North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue say they attended a home on the road around 7.15pm.
Fortunately, officers were able to gain access using a key and release those locked inside.
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
