A group of quick-thinking children helped the police catch two burglary suspects during an Easter egg hunt in Surrey. The kids, known as the “Tremendous Twelve,” were playing in a field when they noticed a suspicious man running. Instead of ignoring it, they decided to take action.
A nine-year-old girl in the group recalled how they came up with a plan to get the attention of a police helicopter flying overhead. They quickly formed a human arrow on the ground, pointing in the direction of the man. At first, the officers in the helicopter thought the kids were just playing. But when they realized the children were actually trying to signal them, they decided to look in that direction.
What they saw was unbelievable. The suspect was running through the area, unaware that the children had just alerted the police. The officers quickly notified ground units, who then moved in and arrested the suspect. Thanks to the children’s clever thinking, the police were able to catch not just one but two burglary suspects that day.
After the event, the kids felt proud of their actions. They never expected their Easter egg hunt to turn into a real-life police operation. The police later praised the children for their quick response and teamwork, saying their efforts played a big role in the arrests.
One of the children said they had only seen things like this in movies. Another mentioned that at first, they didn’t think their plan would work, but they were happy when the police understood their signal.
This unexpected event turned an ordinary Easter egg hunt into a memorable adventure. The “Tremendous Twelve” proved that even kids can make a difference when they think fast and work together.
