Police are looking to arrest a woman on a charge of theft after being
seen on video taking a mountain of dirty laundry from a laundromat,
according to police in Florida.
The St. Petersburg Police Department said that the incident unfolded
around 2:15 p.m. on Saturday, at the Downtown Coin Laundry, which is
located at 442 2nd Street North.
According to the police investigation, a customer put her clothes into 6
dryers and left the laundromat to get change. The thief is then seen on
video stealing $1,500 of her clothing from 4 of the dryers.
When the victim returned with her change and realized that her clothes
were gone, she called the police. So far, the thief has not been caught.
It is not known what the thief plans to do with the clothes.
“If you know this laundry thief, please call the St. Petersburg Police
Department,” a spokesperson for the department wrote on Facebook.
