Two men stuffed more than $700 worth of razor refills in their pants before they were caught by a Kmart security guard, police say.

Jesse James Martinez, 36, was caught with 17 packages of Gillete Fusion refills in his baggy jeans, according to a Metro Court Criminal Complaint. He was charged with shoplifting over $500, a fourth degree felony.

The man police describe as his accomplice escaped after tossing $525 worth of razor refills, the complaint states.

The Kmart, located at 2100 Carlisle Blvd. N.E., had a security camera trained on the razor aisle because they are popular items for shoplifters, Albuquerque police say.
