Big Island police have arrested a man and woman after they allegedly stole a donation jar at a Pahoa store.
Officials say it happened at Irie Hawaii Smoke Shop on Monday.
Surveillance footage shows the couple apparently walking around the shop before the man snatched the jar.
“As soon as my worker was busy with another customer, he grabbed the container that was full with the donation for Maddie and stuck it in his sweatpants and then continued to make his way out the door,” said store manager Jose Miranda.
That very jar was set up to help an 8-year-old girl, Madisyn Tamaki, with funds to receive a heart transplant.
Miranda said more than $200 had been collected.
“The best thing coming out of it, you know, was the outpour of support,” he said. “Once the town got the news of it and everybody, they just been coming by dropping more money, not even buying anything, not even coming in the store, just outside giving us money, like here give this to the girl.”
The couple has not been charged.
The store has now moved the donation jar behind the counter.
