NBC10 obtained surveillance video of a woman stealing toys meant for needy children.
The Toys for Tots charity set up a donation box at the Wings to Go restaurant on the 500 block of S. Oxford Valley Road in Fairless Hills, Bucks County.
On Monday, around 5 p.m., surveillance video captured a woman walking up to the donation bin. She looked around and then reached inside the box, pulled out a few toys, placed it in a bag and then walked out.
The video also shows a customer sitting in a chair nearby and playing on his phone, completely oblivious to the theft. Store employees didn’t even realize anything was stolen until Tuesday morning when they noticed the donation box was empty.
The General Manager of Wings to Go says the restaurant has collected donations for Toys for Tots for the past 10 years. The manager says that to her knowledge, it’s the first time someone has ever stolen from the donation box.
Despite the theft, employees at Wings to Go did not file a police report and say they want the woman to keep the toys if she truly needs them. Bristol Township Police told NBC10 they are still investigating however after receiving phone calls from people who were angered by the theft.
