FORT GREENE — They made a clean getaway.

Police are looking for two men they say stole more than $1,000 worth of body wash and deodorant from a CVS in Fort Greene.

The suspects entered the pharmacy, at 218 Myrtle Ave., on Sept. 10 around 5:20 p.m. and emptied several shelves full of Dove Body Wash and Dove Deodorant into laundry bags, according to the NYPD and a manager at the pharmacy.

The duo then jumped into a parked car and headed south on Ashland Place, police said.

The bottles of body wash range from about $5 to 10 on the CVS website.

Police described both suspects as standing approximately 5-foot-9 and weighing 150 pounds.

Surveillance photos of the suspects show one wearing a white V-neck T-shirt, gray sweatpants and a white cap with red writing. The other was wearing a green T-shirt, sunglasses and a black cap.

Anyone with information should call 1-800-577-TIPS.
