Waving Their Arms
So how were they going to capture the attention of authorities who were many feet away in the helicopter? Initially, the squad began waving their hands. However, the policemen ignored them as this was not the first time they had seen kids waving at them.
Common
Thereafter they also made signs to the place where the fugitive had hidden. Again they could not get the attention of the police as the authorities misunderstood their hand movements to be something that every kid do on seeing the helicopter. So what were the kids going to do now?
An Idea!
They had to do something really quick as the time was running out. How can they help the police from the ground? It was then an amazing idea struck one of the older kids in the group. What did they do next made even policemen stunned?
The Kids’ Swift Actions
NPAS Sergeant Paul Sochon said, “I’m sure the last thing the group of daring Capel residents expected when they set out on Friday afternoon was to abandon their Easter egg hunt to assist us in a police search but the initiative they demonstrated proved to be invaluable.”
Brilliant
The police had failed to understand the true meaning behind their waving. So they decided to form a sign. But how were they going to do that? Well, they had a perfect plan for that. Just like in cartoons, they were going to form an arrow. But there was no guarantee if this idea would work.
Lying Down
The idea was supported by everyone. They all immediately lied down and formed an arrow pointing towards the place where the fugitive was hiding. They did not know if the police would see it or not but they did it in hope.
