SCOTCH PLAINS, N.J. (CBS) — Police in one New Jersey town purchased hundreds of boxes of Girl Scout cookies from two sisters after they were berated by an angry neighbor.

Natalie Skolar, 12, and her 9-year-old sister, Angelina, were selling cookies on their Scotch Plains street when a woman came out of a home and started cursing at them, the girls’ mother, Sandra Crespo, said

“She just came out screaming. She was saying, ‘Nobody wants your f—–g cookies,’” Crespo said. “I can’t believe this happened in our neighborhood. I’ve never seen anything like that happen around here.”

Crespo wrote about the incident on Facebook.

An employee of the Fanwood Police Department saw it and asked for an order form.

The department bought 250 boxes of cookies — approximately $1,000 worth.

“About a week later we picked up the order form and we were overwhelmed,” Crespo said. “I am kind of flooded right now. I’m trying to catch up with the amount of orders.”
