South Bend, Indiana police helped save Christmas from a local family whose gifts were stolen from their home in a home invasion incident on Christmas Eve.
The South Bend Police Department (SBPD) posted a video on Facebook Saturday showing young children in a family responding happily as they ran to gifts brought by officers to replace the ones they had lost.
“We are interrupting our road condition updates to bring you a video you need to see this Christmas Eve,” the department wrote along with the video.
“Earlier today, day shift officers responded to a home invasion complaint at a home in South Bend. After speaking with the owner, officers learned that Christmas presents had been taken, leaving the children with nothing for the holidays,” the department added.

The SBPD explained that officers were able to contact the organizers of the South Bend FOP Lodge #36 Santa’s Elficers program, who provided new gifts to the family that had been left over from a toy drive.
“The Grinch was no match for the Elficers team,” FOP #36 wrote on Facebook.
