Cops hope little girl’s drawing will help catch package thieves
The girl went into quite some detail with her sketch.
Police have hailed the skills of a nine-year-old girl after she provided officers investigating a package theft with vital evidence.
When Corporal Curtis, investigating the incident in Springville County, Utah, interviewed the young witness, she said she remembered seeing a red truck following a mail vehicle.
The budding sketch artist then provided Cpl Curtis with a incredibly detailed picture of the vehicle, which even included dents on the truck’s body work and a four poster rack which the truck was carrying at the time.
Springville Police Department posted over the weekend: ‘He got a very well drawn picture of the suspect vehicle from the 9 year old little girl.
‘See for yourself! The truck in the picture is occupied by a man and woman and were seen following a mail truck around.’
The girl was also hailed on social media.
On Facebook, Cherry AC posted: ‘Always ask the kids! They pay attention to detail and we don’t give them enough credit.
‘This little girl did a great job at drawing a picture of the truck❤️ when I’m looking for a lost dog, I always talk to the kids because they will tell you the truth.’
