Officers responded swiftly to a house in Tulsa around 8 p.m. Friday following a report that a burglar had broken into the property while a mom and her two young kids were home.
The caller said the suspect had pried a screen off her window to get inside but left without stealing anything, the Tulsa Police Department said in a statement.
Cops discovered that the peckish perp had already fled, but not before leaving a cheesy calling card on the floor near the open window – a bag of Cheetos and a bottle of water.
Investigators said the refreshments appeared to have been dropped accidentally during an attempted speedy getaway.
However, moments later the suspect – later identified as Carr – emerged from the shadows, police told news station KTUL
Officers put two and two together after noticing that Carr still had some Cheetos residue stuck between her teeth.
The mom also confirmed that Carr was the person she saw breaking into her home.
Carr was arrested without further incident on a first-degree burglary charge.
