A 10-year-old boy caught the attention of residents in Antuco, Chile, on April 9 as he drove a makeshift patrol car he had ingeniously built using a pedal car and cardboard.

Chilean police said that Alfredo Ossess’s car was “equipped with a beacon, a siren, and even a radio.” He then visited the local police station, were he was invited to take a ride in a real patrol car with an officer.

He was further invited to attend a ceremony on April 27, commemorating the 97th anniversary of the local police service, regional media said. Credit: Carabineros Bio Bio Region via Storyful
