Dunwoody police surprise drivers with gifts

The Dunwoody Police Department surprised quite a few drivers with Christmas gifts. The department partnered with Elevate City Church to give presents to drivers during a special "holiday traffic stop."

DUNWOODY, Ga. - Drivers around Dunwoody were in for a treat this holiday season.

While the drivers were confused about why they were being stopped by police, the officers were working on a surprise that didn't involve tickets.

The Dunwoody Police Department partnered with Elevate City Church. While the officers stalled the unsuspecting drivers, church volunteers shopped inside a nearby Target, wrapped the gifts they bought and delivered them.

One man appeared to be moved to tears after telling the group about his four children.
