A few quick-thinking children dived to the ground to form a human arrow to help a police helicopter track down two burglary suspects.
The group, whose ages ranged from 6 to 12, cut short an Easter egg hunt in southeast England at 2 p.m. on Good Friday to point the National Police Air Service crew in the right direction. They spotted the chopper circling above the field in Capel, Surrey. Surrey Police had deployed it following reports of a burglary at a nearby building. After guessing the cops were after two men they’d seen running near them on the land, the kids decided to give the airborne law enforcers the helpful tip.

“The helicopter crew quickly relayed this information to officers on the ground and a short time later two men were arrested,” Surrey Police posted in a statement on its website. The police chopper landed nearby to thank the heroic children.
