DE PERE — A Wisconsin family has gone on a pie-baking blitz to thank local police officers who rallied to their aid after thieves made off with some gifts.

The Berreau family of De Pere rushed Wednesday, December 23rd to finish a dozen apple pies to deliver Thursday to police departments in their city and nearby Green Bay.

WBAY-TV reports that it's a happy ending to a week that started on a sour note.

On Monday, Lynnette Berreau discovered that thieves broke into her garage and stole presents for her children, relatives and friends. They also took bikes, skates and food from a chest freezer.

A day after alerting police, she got a visit from the dispatcher bearing flowers, gift cards and cash the departments collected so the family could salvage its Christmas.
