A US police officer who was called out to arrest a family suspected of shoplifting instead bought them some food so they could have a decent Christmas dinner.
Matt Lima was called to a food store in Somerset, Massachusetts, last month, a police statement said.
Two women were reported not to be scanning all of their groceries.
When questioned, the family said they had fallen upon hard times and could not afford to pay for all the food.
