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.
