ST. AUGUSTINE Fla. -- The video gets more shocking every time you watch it.
Discount Wireless shop owners at the St. Augustine Outlets caught a little girl stealing multiple cell phones from the store on surveillance cameras.
Even more shocking is that owners say she is visibly being coached in the surveillance footage by her pregnant mother and grandmother.
"This is three generations," said Charlie Touch, the owner of Discount Wireless. "When is it going to stop?"
The St. Johns County Sheriff's Office says thousands of dollars in cell phones and wireless accessories were snatched by the family of thieves, most of them by the little girl.
"She was no more than five or six years old," said Touch. "This is training your kid to be a criminal."
But the theft doesn't stop there. Another older male relative also got in on the action, stealing another phone from behind the counter.
"When I reviewed the camera footage, we actually noticed a couple phones in the drawers missing," said Touch.
And while Touch hopes police track down the family to get his property back, his real concern is for that little girl who he believes hasn't been taught the difference between right and wrong.
"Retrieving the items stolen from my store is not a big deal, you can write it off," said Touch. "But, the bad part is these folks who've really done damage to their family."
Touch says he hopes his security footage helps catch the culprits.
Call Crime Stoppers at 1-888-277-TIPS if you recognize the family on the surveillance video. You will remain anonymous and could receive a cash reward of up to $1,000 if your tip leads to an arrest.
