Any
child can become a hero, as demonstrated by the “human arrow” kids who directed
the police to robbers during our incredible adventure!
The
teens, known as the "Tremendous Twelve," became internet sensations
for forming a human arrow to help a police helicopter locate two escaping
burglary suspects. Accompanied by their loyal Yorkshire terrier, Molly, they
resembled characters from an Enid Blyton story.
Speaking
to The Mail on Sunday, the children recounted their extraordinary adventure for
the first time, saying, "We feel really proud – it was awesome." They
were on an Easter egg hunt in a field near Capel, Surrey, when they noticed the
helicopter circling above. The group ranged in age from six to twelve.
A
nine-year-old girl remembered, "It was really loud, and we saw 'police'
written underneath." They then spotted a man running along the edge of the
field, taking off his jumper and wrapping it around his head.
They
were attempting to yell at the pilot, she continued.
She
explained that even though they shouted and waved to get the helicopter’s
attention, it was heading in the opposite direction.
Then
two of her friends suggested, "Let's form an arrow," and they
arranged themselves on the ground.
After
about a minute in the mud, the children saw the helicopter turn towards them.
