Sheriff's Looking For Calabasas Soapy Shoplifters

Investigators need help finding three thieves who went on a detergent shoplifting spree.

Authorities today circulated surveillance images of two shoplifters who stole items from Ralphs supermarkets in Calabasas and Agoura Hills last month.

On Nov. 7, the suspects were caught on surveillance video loading shopping carts with laundry detergent, shampoo and body soap at the Ralphs at 4754 Commons Way in Calabasas.

They left the store without paying for the items, and one of them abandoned his cart when confronted by employees in the store parking lot before both fled in a black sedan, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Malibu/Lost Hills Station.
