Two kittens went on a rather unexpected adventure in Northampton on Tuesday

Firefighters had to remove brickwork from a loft and a fireplace to rescue two frightened felines that got stuck in a cavity wall in Northampton.

Crews from Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service were called on Tuesday to rescue the kittens, which were only a week old.

They used a demolition hammer to break in to the wall and a camera and lights to get them out.

The kittens were checked over by a vet and were unharmed, they said.
