PAWTUCKET, R.I.(WLNE) — A Pawtucket family was surprised with gifts Wednesday morning by the local police department after they said thieves broke into their house back in January and stole several items.

According to a Facebook post by the Pawtucket Police Department, the thieves nabbed a TV, camera, and four tickets to LEGOLAND, which was donated through the Children’s Wish Foundation.

“The responding officer was moved by the situation and wanted to do something about it,” said police.

As a result, the officers returned to the home on Wednesday to replace all the possessions. They also brought a birthday cake for one of the kids who lives in the house.

“After receiving the gifts, the (belated) birthday girl, friends, and family hopped into a limousine for their trip to LEGOLAND,” said police.
