Long Island Police Looking for Donation Jar Thief

Police on Long Island say they're looking for a man who stole a jar that held donations for abused children.

The theft occurred on Aug. 18 at a gas station in Centereach.

The man argued with a worker about the change he received. While she was speaking to her boss about the problem, he grabbed the jar and rode away on a bicycle.

The jar contained about $30.

Police released surveillance footage showing the man taking the tip jar (see still above).

Anyone with information is asked to contact Suffolk County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS.
