Science for Santa

The Cumberland Police Department in Rhode Island recently received an interesting request from a concerned local resident: a young girl questioning the existence of Santa Claus. 

• After collecting evidence samples of half-eaten cookies and carrots, the girl asked the department to run DNA tests on the items to determine if St. Nick was really the cookie culprit. 

🎅🏼🔬 Keep the magic alive... According to the press release, the samples were forwarded to the state's Department of Health-Forensic Sciences Unit for analysis. They're still awaiting results😉.
