Thief snatches cookie sale cash box from 10-year-old California Girl Scout
(Reuters) - A thief briefly struggled with a 10-year-old Girl Scout outside a California supermarket and snatched her troop's cookie sale cash box, but officers tracked down the suspect and then bought up the rest of the cookies, authorities said on Monday.
...
The thief drove off, but witnesses provided his description and license plate number to police, who found him about a mile a way. Morales said police found the money in the vehicle and the cash box in a nearby creek.
The money was returned to the troop, who got a bonus from the hungry officers.
“Our officers, along with our dispatchers, purchased the remaining cookies, $240 worth, and donated $60 to the troop,” Morales said. “The officers just realized this was probably a pretty traumatic experience for the girls.”
