One of the kind-hearted officers, Capt. John Orellana, said the giveway happened because the precinct wanted to do something nice for the neighborhood.

He added that the station was also giving presents to children without Christmas gifts.

The lucky recipients shared their reactions on social media.

“I as nervous a little. I know my paperwork is good for the car. I was like, ‘What’s going on?’ But I really appreciate you guys coming out to the community and showing your support,” one driver said.

“I was like, ‘Oh my God, what the hell did I do wrong?’ But I think this is a really nice gesture, especially with everything that’s been going on,” one woman said.

“It’s very awesome,” one child said.
