The post on the Facebook page of Ormskirk and Rural West Lancs Police said: "We'd just like to thank the kind person that left a bag of donuts on our windscreen while we were dealing with an incident on Abbotsford in Ormskirk today.
"They were delicious and gratefully received; especially as lunch for us had been considerably delayed by this incident!"
After the message was posted, the generous stranger came forward and said: "You're welcome! Glad they were still there when you returned to the van, and hadn't blown away!", to which the officers replied: "You are an amazing person! Carry on being awesome."
