The duo, humorously nicknamed “Mr. Clean” and “Ms. Dookie” by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, executed their alleged scheme around noon on December 18, 2024. According to Sheriff Grady Judd, “The suspects played very different roles as they conspired in their retail theft.”
Surveillance footage shows the suspects loading their cart with products like Tide, Gain, and Clorox before the woman created a chaotic distraction by relieving herself on the floor. This allowed her accomplice, a hooded man, to calmly walk out of the store with the loaded cart.
As employees grappled with the unexpected mess, the woman casually exited the store with a smirk. The couple was last seen leaving the scene in a white Ford van, police said.
Florida Couple on the Run After Bizarre Shoplifting Spree Involving $500 in Cleaning Products and an Unforgettable Distraction, Police Say
A Florida couple is wanted by police after an unusual shoplifting incident at a Family Dollar in Mulberry, where authorities say the woman intentionally defecated on the floor while her accomplice fled with a cart filled with nearly $500 worth of cleaning supplies.
The Sheriff’s Office shared surveillance photos of the suspects, urging anyone with information to contact their tip line at 1-888-400-TIPS.
Police noted the irony of the crime, given the large haul of cleaning products and the “dirty” distraction that facilitated the theft.
