East Farmindale, NY- Police in Suffolk County say they have received at least 11 reports over the past week from residents in 4^th, 5^th, 6^th and 7^th Precincts who say they paid money for Girl Scout cookies between February and May of this year, and never got them. Officials say during some of the incidents “the money was given to a male adult accompanied by a female child and in others, it was a female child alone”.
