Chilliwack, BC – After thieves took Christmas away from a local mother and her children, angels returned the spirit of giving.

The victim reported amid property that was stolen, were gifts from under the Christmas tree. Shaken by the event, the caller and her two young children left their home to spend the night with friends.
The theft was posted on social media by the victim’s relatives.
