Two teenage boys have been arrested for stealing money from Girl Scouts selling boxes of cookies.
Justin Roger-Zeno, 18, and a 16-year-old who has not been named, face aggravated robbery charges.
The pair allegedly grabbed a cash box, containing $200, from the girls who were selling boxes outside a Walmart in Fort Bend, Texas.
One of the Girl Scouts, teenager Iravia Cotton, ran up to the passenger's side window and started punching the man, while her friend Rachel Johnson grabbed on to the driver's door.
'I started hitting the boy that was in the passenger seat. I think he learned his lesson a little bit,' Miss Cotton told Fox News.
She added: 'Me and my friend, Rachel, went after the money and then they tried to hit me with the car.'
The men began driving away but Rachel didn't let go, and was dragged by the car, resulting in some scratched up elbows but no serious injuries.
The group had been working for four hours when they were robbed, and they estimated that the cash box had about $200 at the time it was taken.
The thieves, who drove a banged-up black Toyota Camry, were caught on CCTV.
'Who steals from a Girl Scout? I mean, seriously, it's like the worst thing ever,' Miss Johnson said.
'I hope your face hurts from when Iravia punched you- jerks!'
Police Chief Deputy Craig Brady said the Girl Scouts had money donated to them from across the U.S.
'I think it goes a long way to say what kind of a community we have,' he added.
