ST. LOUIS COUNTY, MO (KTVI) – St. Louis County Police Sunday took children on a shopping spree, worthy of an escort. Today was the annual Shop with a Cop campaign sponsored by the Elks Lodge of Manchester.
31 children received $140 each to spend on anything they wanted.
Officers from Ballwin and Creve Coeur also helped to brighten the little one’s holiday season.
The children spent their cash at several stores including West County Mall, Walmart, Target, Burlington Coat Factory, Five Below, and Game Stop.
Some decided to buy gifts for their family members.
