EAST BENSON HIGHWAY

SEPT. 12, 4:53 P.M.

A woman escaped arrest after stealing large amounts of laundry supplies, a PCSD report stated.

The cashier at the Circle K at 3102 E. Benson Highway reported that a 40-year-old woman with black clothing and a very large purse had entered the store acting suspiciously. She went directly to the aisle with the laundry detergent and left the store with her huge purse bulging.

When the cashier looked at security-camera footage, she saw the woman stealing two large boxes of Tide powdered detergent, two large bottles of Tide liquid detergent and three bottles of Bounty detergent. She also stole one box of Bounce laundry-softening sheets.

Deputies could not locate the subject. The cashier did not speculate as to why the suspect might have needed so much detergent.
