Indiana police officers save Christmas for local family: 'Makes everything worthwhile'
Fox News
South Bend police officers sprang into action to save Christmas for a family, replacing stolen presents after a break-in left them with nothing under the tree.
"I was shocked," Dawson told Ashley Strohmier. "First we go in, and you see nothing under a Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. You're in shock. And then you see the kids that they seem to be stoic…. They didn't know what really was going on. At that time, I'm training a new officer who is the second day on patrol, and we knew we needed to do something."

The South Bend Police Department (SBPD) posted a video to Facebook on Saturday that showed a family's young children responding gleefully as they run to the gifts that officers brought to replace the ones they had lost.
