With one greedy swipe, people in Westchester County say a thief ruined their plans to give a friend the funeral he deserves.
A woman was caught on video exclusively obtained by News 4 stealing a donation box stuffed with cash from a White Plains restaurant.
Edgar Bermeo says the donations were to help him and his family cover funeral costs for his uncle, Juan, who was a loyal customer at Veracruz, where the box was stolen from.
“Were going through a hard time and for somebody to come and have no morals or respect its disgusting what society is doing,” Bermeo said.
Ernesto Mozqueda, Juans son, said the box had only been out for two days and had quickly filled up with cash by those looking to help the grieving family. Then the thief struck.
