Brooklyn Park police officers came to the aid of a 9-year-old from Minnesota, after his Lemonade stand was robbed by two junior high school kids on bicycles.

9-year-old Gracen had setup a stand and made a sign that read, “Lemonade on the right. Mostly in the morning!” On Thursday the two junior high students rode by and swiped $20 out of his cash cup, according to KTIS. Gracen’s father received a call from him asking if he should call the police and his father told him to leave it be and then prayed a verse from the Bible for his son.

“Two junior high kids on bikes drove by his stand and stole $20 out of his cup. Gracen called me up and asked me if he should call the police and I said that he probably shouldn’t bother them, but I did pray for him over the phone using the verse from Proverbs 6:31 that says whatever the thief steals he has to pay back sevenfold,” Gracen’s father told KTIS.

“Later I called him back and told him to go ahead and call the police that if they weren’t busy maybe they would help him out. When I got home there were two Brooklyn Park police cars on the street in front of his lemonade stand and the nice lady officer told him she was going to replace his $20 and she said, ‘but I want Dad to hold on to it,’ so she gave it to me to hold for him.”

A third police officer later arrived on the scene and purchased four cups of lemonade for $5. By days end Graced had made $50, KTIS reported.
