Ah here! We'd love our grass cut for free.

We've all tried to make a bit of pocket money during the summer as kids - whether that was babysitting, fruit picking, working in the bog, or doing bits and pieces for our parents around the house.

Last month, a boy in the US set up his own lawn moving business and was getting on great - until someone called the police on him.

The 12 year old entrepreneur named Reggie Fields was cutting the lawn of Lucille Holt in Ohio when neighbours complained that he had mown part of their grass.

Lucille filmed the cops turning up and posted the video on Facebook, where it has more than 570,000 views.

The video sparked outrage and people were eager to get in touch with Reggie after the terrifying incident.

He explained to local media that it's hard to tell where one person's lawn starts and another ends in that neighbourhood.

Reggie, his siblings and cousins are now inundated with work.

Not only that but Lucille has set up a Go Fund Me page to encourage him to expand his business, and the page has raised over $38,000.

Go Reggie!
