INDIANAPOLIS - Officers with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department went above and beyond to help a local mother and daughter who were going through a rough time.
IMPD Officer Sarah Romeril responded to a call from a woman who said her drug-addicted adult son stole $100 from her 3-year-old daughter’s piggy bank just before Thanksgiving.
"This was especially heartbreaking because she had shown her brother what she had saved, around a $100, she was so proud of herself," said the mother, who did not wish to be identified.
Romeril took the report and then returned back to the house a short time later with a stuffed animal and a card signed by other officers in the district.
Inside the card was enough cash to replace what was stolen from the piggy bank -- all donations from fellow officers.
