ATLANTA -- If you think you’ve gotten used to news about crime -- brace yourself for the latest. This time, police tell us, a guy stole Girl Scout cookies from a 7-year-old girl trying to sell them.

It happened in Sandy Springs where people are appalled.

Sometimes instead of the scout taking the cookies to the customers, they let the customers come to the lure of the cookies -- which a group of 7-year-old girls did in front of one of their homes when two teenagers in a pickup drove up.

“Girls are selling Girl Scout cookies outside their house on the little table and he said he wanted to buy some cookies and she gave him a box of Tagalongs, and he grabbed them and said, ‘Catch me if you can’ and took off,” said Lt. Steve Rose with the Sandy Springs Police Department.

Police were already just a few blocks away looking for the same truck for cutting donuts in some lawn and pulled over 17-year-old Sean Michael McGoff of Alpharetta and his younger buddy.

“And the mother of this child that was selling cookies came up to them and said, ‘That’s the car that stole my daughter’s cookies,” said Lt. Rose.

The officer said he smelled alcohol on the driver and looked in the car.

“And he’s got the box of cookies in the front seat so the fruits of the crime are there,” said Lt. Rose.

The community is appalled.

“And for him to just come up and take them, that’s really horrible,” said Sandy Springs resident Serai Christian.

Police Lt. Steve Rose summed it up when asked by the AJC who steals cookies from a Girl Scout?

"Certainly not a Boy Scout."
