Authorities say they’ve arrested a brother and sister who stole a box of money from a table where a 12-year-old girl was selling Girl Scout cookies outside a Florida Wal-Mart.

The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office reports in a news release that 20-year-old Nicholas Delbrugge and his sister, 25-year-old Ashley Winters, were arrested in Deltona on Thursday.

Authorities say surveillance footage shows the brother grabbing the money box Sunday afternoon and hopping into the passenger seat of a waiting car. The leader of the Girl Scout troop estimated the box contained about $200.

A New Smyrna Beach police officer identified Delbrugge on Tuesday, and sheriff’s detectives spent the next two days tracking the siblings down.

Delbrugge and Winter both face multiple theft charges. Jail records didn’t list attorneys for them.

Original story:

ORLANDO — Katie Lalanne said the guy ran right past her after he stole the money box from a 12-year-old girl selling Girl Scout cookies Sunday afternoon.

“How would you feel if your little girl went through that, to know that you worked so hard. You’re scum you’re nasty, and I hope they catch him,” said Katie Lalanne.

She says it happened so fast.

“This guy walked right by the table and it looked like he was chuckling and grabbed the cash box and started jogging ... there was another witness and myself, we just looked at each other like, did that just happen?” said Lalanne.

Katie says she saw the man run into the parking lot and climb into a gray Hyundai Santa Fe, with a North Carolina tag.

“You could see the anger in every mother that was standing around that table by the time the cop got there and everybody started telling what they saw,” added Lalanne.

Detectives say Walmart surveillance caught the man with a woman and small child, just moments before the money box was stolen.

The three walked together to the car and then the man came back to grab the cash.

“To know that she had been out there all day just trying to sell some cookies. It was like poor thing, we all work all day and to have your pay check taken like that ... it’s discouraging,” said Lalanne.
