The ambitious boy had set his sights on owning a PS5 and decided to raise money for the console by offering lawn-mowing services to neighbors in his community.

However, neighbors wanted the juvenile removed from the area and called the police.

"Officer Colleran made contact with a young man that explained he was in the area because he wanted to do yard work: pulling weeds, cutting grass and trimming hedges to save up for a PlayStation. The young man was polite, respectful and truthful," the Hapeville police department explained.

Officer Colleran, a gamer himself, was so impressed with the young man that he decided to help him reach his goal.

Officer Colleran and some of his friends came together to get the video game system and even a gift card to pay for the membership so the boy could play immediately.
