Back News News Stories Local Second Cancer Donation Jar Stolen From San Tan Valley Walgreens

Second Cancer Donation Jar Stolen From San Tan Valley Walgreens


by: Elias Johnson - PCSO

On 8/9/2012 a theft occurred inside the Walgreens located at 333 East Hunt Highway (off Bella Vista).

A male subject, with a thin build, between the ages of 16-22 walked into the store and sections later walked out, taking a donation jar intended for a local 7-year-old girl battling cancer.

A silver vehicle with customs wheels was waiting for the fleeing subject who ran as the clerk witnessed the theft and acknowledged the crime.

On 7/22/2012 a similar theft occurred at a nearby Walgreens located at 3111 West Hunt Highway (just north of the Bella Vista location).  A different male subject walked into the store and left after taking a similar donation jar.

In both cases the jars were left next to the cash register.

The donation jars were placed in the stores by the 7-year-old's parents who use the money to cover food expenses.  Her picture and purpose for the funds were clearly marked on the containers.

PCSO and the family would greatly appreciate any help in locating the suspects who face theft charges.

Anyone with information is asked to call PCSO at (520)866-5111.

PCSO is still looking for both subjects.
