ORLANDO, Fla. (CBS12) -- Police are looking for a man who ripped off a Boy Scout.
Twelve-year-old Riley Couture was selling snacks for his troop outside a Walmart in Ocala when a man came up to buy trail mix.
The man passed the boy a $100 bill. Riley gave him $80 in change, not knowing the $100 bill was fake.
Apparently, the man tried to use the counterfeit cash inside Walmart but the cashier refused to take it.
So, the crook saw his opportunity and stole money from a child.
"This is money that they earn to do their summer camps, to buy their uniforms and activities," said Riley's dad in an interview with CNN affiliate WKMG. "It irritates me a lot."
Riley says the incident made him not trust people now. His father says that's unfortunate. "That's not right. We're supposed to trust other people."
