"There is a Facebook group called 'wittheambulance gamers' and their aim is to leave treats on service vehicle windscreens as a thank you for all they do. They are leaving them on the windscreens of ambulances, fire engines and police vehicles.
"Freya wanted to leave them on our police car windscreens but when she came to the police station she realised that all the vehicles are parked behind barriers so she couldn’t get access to them.
"Instead, she came into the front desk to hand them over.
"Thank you so much Freya, you truly made the Police of Stockport smile".
