They walked into a CVS pharmacy, claiming to have a frightening illness and walked out with two cases of Corona beer, Coconut Creek police say.

According to the arrest report, the two men told the clerk they “have the virus" and then took the cases of beer and several containers of detergent and left without paying.

Cyriacks and Permenter sped off in a white Chevrolet van that was reported stolen in Fort Lauderdale, the arrest report said.

They really came there to steal toilet paper, but the store was out. The stole the next best thing, detergent.

But they stole a lot of it, and they don’t look like they use detergent.

Well, I just found a piece from 2013 saying some people use detergent to trade for drugs.

Ha ha! The joke’s on them. Don’t they know they’re drinking the Coronavirus straight from the bottle with Corona beer? I read that on the Internet so it has to be true!

Amazing detective work. I never would have guessed, and the thieves only go for the best detergent like Tide. From the article:

Tide bottles have become ad hoc street currency, with a 150-ounce bottle going for either $5 cash or $10 worth of weed or crack cocaine. On certain corners, the detergent has earned a new nickname: “Liquid gold.” The Tide people would never sanction that tag line, of course. But this unlikely black market would not have formed if they weren’t so good at pushing their product.
