Last Sunday, Lake Forest Park Police officers were responding to other calls for service when they observed two subjects pushing an Albertsons shopping cart in a nearby park.
When contacted, the subjects turned out to be a 15 year old and a 17 year old runaways who had shoplifted food because they were hungry.
The juveniles were taken into protective custody, the store manager was contacted, and night shift officers bought pizza and drinks for the runaways until the parents could be contacted.

Thank you LFP Police Force. This article reflects the compassion that I see whenever I observe them in action.
