Police are hunting a cookie monster who swiped a wad of dough from two Girl Scouts in a daring drive-by heist and sped off.
Girl Scout Vanessa Bergeron, 7, a fellow Scout and Vanessa's mother, Missy, had set up a cookie stand outside a Palm Beach, Fla., shopping center Sunday night.
It was Vanessa’s first time taking part in the annual Scout bake sale.
The cookie crook parked near the stand, requested a box then asked for change, Missy Bergeron told local television station WPBF.
"She took the money and was acting like she was going to go in her purse and she gassed the car and almost ran me over," Bergeron said.
The baked goods bandit made off with $92.
"To rob from two little girls like that you really have some issues," Bergeron said.
The thief, described by local police as a woman in her 30s, was driving a maroon, four-door Honda sedan.
Police are still seeking a suspect, but in the meantime a good Samaritan stepped in to make things right for Vanessa.
Shopper Mike Davis and his wife, who heard about the theft, gave the young Girl Scout $100 to replace her swiped earnings.
"We just thought it was so ridiculous that someone would do something like this to the Girl Scouts. We just felt like it was the right thing to do," Davis said.
