A Phoenix, AZ, police officer went out of her way to help a woman whose car battery was stolen.

Darlene Anaya had just paid $200 for a new car battery when someone stole it out of her vehicle. Officer Veronica Lumpkin responded to the theft call and got the woman a tow truck. But then Lumpkin went a step further and bought Anaya a new car battery out of her own pocket, reports CBS.

"I've been a Phoenix PD officer for 21 years," she said. "Behind my badge is 100% love and service. It's a privilege to be a blessing to you that day."
