Two tourists allegedly trying to steal showers from a West Coast holiday park failed to get clean away after being tackled by an employee.

Police allege the would-be thieves were caught as they tried to leave the Top 10 Holiday Park in Greymouth yesterday.

An employee fell to the ground as he tried to stop one leaving.

A 50-year-old US citizen was arrested and was expected to appear before Christchurch District Court today.
