Two Florida police officers went above and beyond the call of duty when they were seen on camera delivering groceries to customers after arresting their delivery driver.
The encounter took place in Titusville on March 26, homeowner Joe Neu confirmed. The video he shared on social media has quickly spread.
"Hello, uh, you ordered groceries?" a female officer can be seen asking in doorbell camera footage shared to FOX 35 Orlando. "Yes," the woman who answered the door said.
"Your driver got arrested, so we're delivering your groceries," the officer responded.
