LOWELL, Mass. -- Police are looking for two teenagers who went into a convenience store and stole a donation jar that had been put there by a 10-year-old girl who was raising money for children in Cambodia.

Police were called to P&S Convenience at 35 Willie Street in Lowell just after 9 p.m. Sunday night when the teens took off with the donation jar.

The jar with about $150 was chained to the store's counter, but they got away with it.

Lowell Police are looking for the suspects.

"It's not just the money that was taken away, it's all the effort my daughter was putting into it," said Peter Nhim, convenience store owner.

His daughter, Chresina Nhim, said that she still wants to help.

Yea, Khmer from Cambodia came all the way here to just steal 150 dollars lol. The plane ticket costs more than that, moron. It's more likely the Khmer in America that live on government welfare that steal this shit because their welfare money is being cut due to the recession. what you think? haha

If everyone really wanted to know who stole the donation jar, just go to 7 news Boston channel and watch the video under the title
Girl's donation jar stolen from dad's store. This way we can avoid argument between Khmer and Khmer. The video clearly shows that the person who stole the money was Black kid.
