A 10-year-old boy turned heads in Antuco, Chile, after he drove a makeshift patrol car built out of cardboard. 

Alfredo Ossess’s car was "equipped with a beacon, a siren, and even a radio," Chilean police said

For his efforts, Ossess was invited to the local police station, where he was invited to ride in a real patrol car with an officer.

He was also invited to attend a ceremony on April 27, commemorating the 97th anniversary of the local police service, local media reported.
