Police in Florida said an infant heart patient was the victim of a heartless theft.

Nine-month-old Jaelyn Anderson was diagnosed with a heart infection and needs a transplant.

Her family had been collecting donation for her treatment, but on Valentine's Day, her grandfather was robbed of $3,000 they had collected.

The family was devastated by the unthinkable crime, but isn't letting it get them down.

They said they're focusing on Baby Jaelyn and hope she'll get a new heart soon.
