The season of giving is upon us, and a group of Memphis police officers went above and beyond to make sure a local family in need was taken care of.
Sunday night, officers from the Crump Station precinct were called to the scene of a burglary around 3:35 p.m. While on the scene, officers encountered an 11-year-old and his mother whose home had been burglarized while they were at church.
Police said the thieves stole several of the mom’s items and the young man’s Xbox gaming system and all of his games. While talking to the boy, MPD realized that he didn’t have much and the gaming system was his prized possession.
Officers asked if he was going to ask Santa for a new one, and his reply was heartbreaking.
