ABSECON -- These twins definitely did not make a clean getaway.

A pair of New Jersey brothers allegedly stole 180 bars of Dove soap from the Absecon Shoprite on Friday, only to be caught moments after running out of the store.

The duo's attempted getaway was detailed in a light-hearted police post on Facebook.

The twins, identified by police only as Kenny and Lenny, ran out of the store, each carrying one handle of a shopping bag.

They ran into a trash can and fell to the ground only to be thwarted again after getting back up -- this time by a shopping cart.

"The cart, not wanting to be outdone by the can, re-introduced both Kenny and Lenny to the hard-packed pavement," police said in their Facebook post.

When the two rounded the corner, they came face to face with an officer who was on site tending to a minor crash on the other side of the building.

The twins, who the New York Daily News identified as Kenny and Lenny Stewart, were "corralled and collared" -- and charged with shoplifting and resisting arrest, police said.
