STRATFORD, Conn. - (WVIT/NBC) An 11-year-old girl, who drew a stick figure of a burglar, was honored by police in Connecticut after the sketch led to the arrest of a suspect.

In a room full of police, Rebecca DePietro of Stratford, Conn., was wearing hot pink.  But she didn't need a uniform to be honored for some detective work of her own after a string of burglaries on her street.

She drew a stick figure sketch of the suspect after police came to her door a few months ago asking if she'd seen anyone suspicious.

"I drew a picture of him. It wasn't like the best picture it was just a head some legs,” said DePietro. "I thought like, ‘Oh, (the detective will) probably just going to crumple it up and throw it out.’"

Instead, police took the two-minute doodle seriously.

"For us to take that sketch and match it up, it was remarkable," said Stratford Police Chief Patrick.

They matched the picture to Pedro Bruno, who has since confessed to 10 burglaries, including the break in at DePietro's own home.

"It was kind of like payback. You did this, and my daughter's drawing kind of resolved the issue," said Rebecca's father Paul DePietro.

The 11-year-old girl received a standing ovation at the Stratford police awards ceremony Thursday night.

She said she's not quite sure if she wants to be a sketch artist when she grows up. 
However, police said thanks to her drawing, not only were they able to make an arrest… they were able to recover some of the items the suspect stole.
 

절도사건이 있은 후 소녀에게 수상한 사람은 없었나는 물음에 소녀는 의심스러운 사람을 보았고 그것을 몽타주로 그려줬는데 그것을 토대로 수사해서 용의자를 잡았다는 내용입니다.

그리고 그 소녀는 경찰로 부터 감사장을 받았다네요.

커서 몽타쥬 그리는 일을 하고 싶다고...
