A lady had been caught robbing from shelves in a store in a major US metropolis, and two police officers were dispatched to the scene.

Officers Keith Bradshaw and Candace Spragins discovered a lady there who had taken food worth $36.She returned the stolen food while sobbing and making an apology.

He admitted to having three adoptive children and not being able to provide for them while speaking to the police. After receiving a serious head injury, the mother was unable to work for a while, and her children had gone three days without food.

When the authorities arrived to her house, they only discovered a slice of cheese in the refrigerator after having opened it.

Unfortunately, the two police officers were forced to accuse the woman of stealing and launch a criminal complaint.

However, they made a choice that astonished her mother knowing her tale.

They went back to the shop and stocked a cart with food.

She claimed the food would sustain her for several weeks.
