Boy crawls inside arcade machine

Six-year-old Coen Moore certainly saw the funny side when his little brother Aiden crawled inside an arcade machine on holiday.

Four-year-old Aiden was in Devon for his birthday and playing with friends when he managed to crawl inside an arcade machine where players control a crane to pick up teddy bears.

He was stuck inside for half an hour before staff at Dawlish Sands Holiday Park found a key to let him out, but young Aiden didn’t seem to mind.

“Coen came up to me and said, ‘Daddy, Daddy, Aiden’s in the machine’,” said the boys’ dad Darran, of Hereford.

“I didn’t really understand so we went over and there he was, quite happy with himself.

“The staff got a bit panicky because when they couldn’t find a key, but eventually they did and I just lifted him out.”

Staff let both boys keep a teddy bear and, thanks to this picture, the family will never let Aiden forget the length he went to get it.
