Police crews monitoring traffic in Georgia's capital Tbilisi took up a new task on New Year's Eve, surprising drivers in the city's streets by giving out presents for the festive season.
In a video captured by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia, different Patrol Police teams pulled drivers over only to surprise them with gifts and good wishes for the New Year.
In one instance, the officers came across a citizen who was prepared to be equally generous, leaving them with presents of her own.
