Cops in South Bend, Indiana rescued Christmas for kids at a local family after they were 'burgled' on Christmas Eve. A spokesman for the South Bend Police Department (SBPD) said that instead of Santa Claus, it was the Grinch that broke into the home of the family on Christmas Eve and stole Christmas presents and returned them the next day (December 25).

They shared this video with the message: "We interrupt our road condition updates to bring you a video you need to see this Christmas Eve. Earlier today, day shift officers responded to a Breaking & Entering complaint at a home in South Bend. After talking to the homeowner, officers learned that Christmas gifts had been taken, leaving the children with nothing for the holidays. Luckily there were enough gifts left over from a toy drive organized by the South Bend FOP Lodge #36 Santa's Elficers program. The Grinch was no match for the Elficers team."

This footage was filmed and produced 25 December 2022.
