Leicester, Massachusetts — Recently a shoplifter attempted to circumvent a security device at a local retailer by covering it with Play Doh……..yes, I said, Play Doh.
The attempt to thwart the security device did not work and the suspect fled the scene–but the suspect left the Play Doh behind.
The LPD investigator recovered the Play Doh and found the suspect had left more than just the Play Doh behind; the suspect left a very good fingerprint pressed into the Play Doh for the LPD.
The Play Doh print was eventually matched.
The suspect is currently residing at the Worcester County House of Correction and is wanted in at least two other states.
The LPD has filed charges in connection its investigation and the suspect will be arraigned in court in the near future.
