Dartmouth police find boy who donated toy

If you recall, yesterday we let you know about the boy who gave his toy to Dartmouth Police for the toy drive. We have good news, thanks to the public sharing the story, he was located and DPD wanted to show him their appreciation.

Here is the happy ending for the Dartmouth Police in their words.

Christmas Miracle ?‍♂️❤?

So, do you remember our post from yesterday when we asked for your help in locating a young boy who selflessly donated a toy during our toy drive on December 9th?

Well, thanks to all of YOUR help and shares, a Christmas miracle took shape, as we were able to identify him this afternoon as Lucas Ross.

As we strongly felt as if Lucas should be recognized for his effort, we surprised him at a class assembly at Quinn Elementary School this afternoon, at which time Acting Chief Levesque presented him with a Certificate of Appreciation, as well as a department patch.

As an added bonus, members of DPD also presented Lucas with several toys, which included some items from Nerf (which his dad told us he loved) and a small drone.

As we salute Lucas for his selfless act of kindness, we would like to remind everyone that the best gifts are not those that you receive, but instead those that you give!

Great job Lucas!
