Police Navidad: Cops Play Santa to Dunwoody Kids

DUNWOODY, GA -- While you were probably resting in your home after good food, friends and family fun, a group of Dunwoody police officers were on a special mission.

They were driving a van full of toys and other gifts to apartments in the area to spread good cheer and hope to children. The first stop? Peachtree Place North Apartments.

When the van pulled up to the complex in the 4600 block of Peachtree Place Parkway, within five minutes crowds of children were shouting in excitement.

"This is just really random, they didn't even know we were doing this," a police officer said in the video. He said they were going to drive to another apartment complex, Dunwoody Glen, and give gifts there as well.

So Dunwoody children may have been looking for a chubby fellow from the North Pole, dressed in red. But this year, Christmas came in blue.
