Our thrilling escapade, led by a gang of ‘human arrow’ kids who guided cops to robbers: the crime-fighting heroics demonstrate that any child can be a hero!

The “Tremendous Twelve” became famous online after ingeniously creating a human arrow to point a police plane to two fleeing burglary suspects. They traveled with their reliable dog, a Yorkshire terrier named Molly, just like Enid Blyton’s envisioned characters.

“We feel incredibly proud – it was wonderful,” the kids said yesterday, speaking to The Mail on Sunday for the first time about their incredible experience. They were out looking for Easter eggs in a field near Capel, Surrey, when they observed the helicopter circling. They were six to twelve years old.

‘It was incredibly noisy, and we could see it read “police” on the bottom,’ a nine-year-old girl claimed. Then we noticed a man racing along the field’s edge. We watched the man remove his jumper and wrap it around his head.

She went on to say that they were attempting to communicate with the pilot.

She went on to explain that despite their efforts to yell and shout at the chopper to tip in the direction of the man, it was aimed in the opposite direction.

“Let’s get into an arrow,” two of my buddies suggested, and we took our positions on the ground.’

After roughly a minute of lying in the ground, the children noticed the helicopter approaching them.

The two men, aged 27 and 28, were captured when the pilot alerted ground police.

They were detained on suspicion of robbing a nearby farm.

‘They said they thought we were playing, but they followed our arrow and caught the males,’ a ninth-grade girl said. We’re quite pleased with ourselves.

When the chopper approaches, the pilot spots the children making a human arrow in the direction of the suspects.

The youngsters went viral after Surrey Police posted a video of the human arrow.

According to one of their parents, Ben Brearley, the children were fantastic and enjoyed the thrill. Many people have compared it to a Scooby Doo episode or an Enid Blyton book. That delights the children.

“The initiative they demonstrated was important,” said Surrey Police Sergeant Paul Sochon.
