NEW YORK — He didn't make a clean getaway.
Authorities say a shoplifter tried to steal 26 containers of laundry detergent from a New York City supermarket.
The Staten Island Advance reported that the dirty deed occurred Monday night.
Court documents say the man stuffed the detergent — valued at nearly $200 — into a black bag.
He tried to leave the store without paying, but police had a different destination in mind.
