The event was attended by members of the police, the Community Policing Forum (CPF), Emergency Management Service volunteers and Hot Cares, as well as their family members.

The convoy, which started at Honeydew Police Station, visited at least eight facilities, including places of safety where children are being housed, old age homes, hospitals and homes for the disabled.

The children and the oldies were left smiling and laughing after receiving gifts from Sergeant Klaus, who dressed up as Santa Claus.
