Police are investigating after a jar of money, intended to help a family in Mexico, was stolen from a restaurant in Halifax Friday.

On Saturday Mexico Lindo posted a photo to Facebook of two women in their 20s from what appears to be security camera footage.

The Dutch Village Road restaurant says the theft happened Friday night.

Halifax police spokesman Const. Pierre Bourdages says police have the same photo and are investigating the women as possible suspects. There have been no arrests.

"Do you remember the bottle we had on the counter collecting money for the family in Mexico? Well, they helped themselves to the bottle," posted Mexico Lindo.

The restaurant is asking anyone who recognizes the women to contact police.
