Thanks to the group of “human arrow” kids who led police to robbers during our epic excursion, each child can be a hero! The teenagers, who went by the pseudonym “Tremendous Twelve,” came to prominence online after inventing a human arrow to point a police helicopter to two fleeing burglary suspects. In addition, like Enid Blyton’s fictional characters, they traveled with their trusty dog, a Yorkshire terrier named Molly.
The children, who talked to The Mail on Sunday for the first time about their remarkable experience, said yesterday, “We feel really proud – it was awesome.” They were on an Easter egg search in a field near Capel, Surrey when they noticed the helicopter circling. They ranged in age from six to twelve years.”It was really loud, and it said “police” on the bottom,” a nine-year-old girl recounted.
Then we observed a man racing along the perimeter of the field. The man could be seen taking off his jumper and wrapping it around his head. She went on to say that they were attempting to yell at the pilot. She went on to say that despite their best efforts to get the chopper to turn toward the man, it was really pointing in the opposite direction.
“Let’s get into an arrow,” two of my friends said, and we positioned ourselves on the ground. After roughly a minute of relaxing in the dirt, the youngsters noticed the helicopter approaching. The pilot alerted police on the ground, and the two males, aged 27 and 28, were apprehended.
They were questioned in connection with a nearby farm burglary. A ninth-grader added, “They said they thought we were playing around at first, but they followed our arrow and caught the men.” We’re pleased with the results. As the helicopter approaches, the pilot notices the youngsters forming a human arrow in the direction of the suspects.
The pilot searches for two burglary suspects. The kids became well-known online when Surrey Police released video of the human arrow. Ben Brearley, one of their dads, told the newspaper that the youngsters were terrific and liked the thrill. It’s frequently compared to a Scooby Doo episode or an Enid Blyton book. The children adore it.
