CONWAY, Ark. (AP) — Police say whoever stole two shipping containers from a Conway distribution center likely didn't get what they were looking for: the two 53-foot containers contained nearly a half-million dollars' worth of feminine products and baby care items.

Conway Police Chief A.J. Gary says the thief or thieves likely didn't know what was in the shipping containers belonging to the Kimberly Clark Corp. when he or she swiped them. Inside the 53-foot containers were 9,064 cases of Kotex and Poise brand feminine hygiene products, 152 cases of Huggies Soft Skin baby wash and 380 cases of baby wipes.

The chief says: "It isn't like a trailer load of flatscreen TVs.".

Police say the total haul is worth more than $474,000.
