A middle school girl who went after a man taking valuables from her home is being honored for her bravery by the UK’s West Midlands Police.

Robyn Birdsell was returning from a swimming lesson with her mom last June when she saw a thief stuffing the family’s valuables into her backpack at her home in Birmingham.
