GRANBY, CT — The entire content of the bank account of the Granby Girl Scouts - $847.23 - was drained by an unknown person or persons several weeks ago, and the group had to battle to get back the money from its financial institution.
Fox61 reported a charge on the troop's account was made at a Best Buy store in New Jersey. Best Buy advised them to contact police, and Simsbury Bank told them there was nothing the bank could do.
Intervention by a Fox61 consumer advocate team resulted in the troop being reimbursed the full amount by Simsbury Bank.
