Madison Police Replace Stolen Bikes Given to Local Kids for Christmas
Madison Police officers went above and beyond to keep Christmas alive for two Madison children whose bikes were stolen after the holiday.

No sign of the Grinch here! On Tuesday afternoon, Madison Police Officers went above and beyond the call of duty to keep Christmas alive for two local children, whose bikes were stolen just after the holiday.
On Dec. 30, Madison Police Officer and P.B.A. President Luis Goncalves responded to investigate the theft of two bicycles in Madison. The bicycles belonged to two local children, a brother and sister.
Upon learning the bicycles were Christmas presents, Goncalves and his fellow officers worked with the Madison Police Benevolent Association to “step in and bring Christmas back” to the children, according to the PBA.
