A Girl Scout troop was robbed at a Texas grocery store in what is being called a grab-and-go theft. No girls were injured in the incident.
Police told local media they were alerted of the theft Wednesday evening at a Randalls grocery store on Ben White Boulevard near Highway 290.
"The safety of our members is our top priority and we are thankful that no one was harmed during this incident. The troop is working directly with local police to identify the perpetrators," Emma Acosta, marketing and communications specialist for Girl Scouts of Central Texas, told FOX 7 Austin in a statement.
The girls were reportedly selling cookies when the robbery occurred, despite the presence of an on-duty security guard.
