Look what Santa delivered

Firefighters spent two hours rescuing a naked woman trapped in a chimney after her attempt to sneak into her former boyfriend's home at 5am went wrong.

The woman, 35, removed her clothes so that she could squeeze through the 30cm by 30cm opening. Her cries for help were heard by her former partner, who called firefighters to the property in Riverside County, California.

She was sent to hospital with moderate injuries. She is the mother of their three children, who live at the property. They were not then at home.
