LEE COUNTY, Fla. -- Investigators are hoping to identify a woman who discreetly grabbed cash from a tip jar at a Lehigh business this week. And video shows that a young child was watching it happen.

According to Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers, it happened Wednesday at the Pack and Ship on Homestead Road N. in Lehigh Acres.

Surveillance video shows that while the employee stepped away from the desk briefly to speak to another person, the woman discreetly grabbed some cash from the tip jar and added it to her stack of cash.

A young boy watching it happened appears to react with shock.
