A group of children, dubbed the “Tremendous Twelve,” became heroes when they cleverly helped police catch two burglary suspects. While on an Easter egg hunt in a Surrey field, the kids, aged 6 to 12, spotted a man running near the field’s edge as a police helicopter circled overhead.

Realizing the helicopter wasn’t heading in the right direction, the kids quickly lay on the ground to form a human arrow pointing toward the suspect. After holding their position for about a minute, the helicopter spotted their signal and pursued the fleeing man.

The children, who were accompanied by their Yorkshire terrier, Molly, shared their excitement later, saying, “We feel really proud – it was awesome.” Their quick thinking and teamwork made them unexpected heroes in a real-life adventure.
