Auckland police officers showed they have big hearts when they gave a woman in managed isolation a special 21st birthday surprise. 

In a Facebook post Auckland Police said officers stayed at the end of their shift to make the woman called Lily's birthday a little more special. 

Lily had to spend the milestone birthday in an Auckland hotel so the cops teamed up wth her mum and made a banner saying happy 21st birthday Lily. 

They displayed the banner along with balloons from the car park at the police station, which she could see from her room. 

The post said Lily was "pretty chuffed" at the gesture. 

The post got lots of positive comments with people praising the cops' actions. 

"Happy birthday Lily. When you are out of isolation you can celebrate big time. Good one NZPOLICE you are the best,"  said one comment.
