Girl Scouts in Texas were robbed at a Walmart by a man who took a bag containing all the troop's earnings for the day, surveillance video shows.
Fort Worth police released the security video on its Facebook page and said the department is seeking the public's help to find the suspected thief.
The robbery happened around 2 p.m. Sunday near the Walmart's entrance, police said in the post. The robber walked past a Girl Scout cookie stand, reached behind the troop's table, took the bag of money and fled into the parking lot, the post continued.
Police are describing the suspect as a man possibly between 18-24 years old, wearing a grey hoodie and black beanie.
The robber took the Girl Scout's money but did not take any of the troop's cookies, KIRO-TV reported.
How to buy Girl Scout Cookies in 2024
Cookie lovers can reach out to a registered Girl Scout and find out if she's selling products. If the Girl Scout is not known to you then check with your local council or use the Girl Scout Cookie Finder to find a booth near you.
Local councils determine the start date for cookie sales, so the Girl Scout Cookie Finder will be your best option to find out who's selling in your area.
People who don't know a Girl Scout were able to begin purchasing cookies Feb. 16 and have them shipped directly to their residences. All you have to do is enter your zip code into the Girl Scout Cookie Finder, according to Girl Scouts of the USA.
