Walmart is Getting Tougher on Shoplifters Now…

Two security employees got shot at in a Walmart parking lot when they were chasing after a shoplifter over a week ago in Oklahoma City. And now another incident with a suspected shoplifter trying to run over a security employee with his Mercedes. The police caught him and he’s under arrest.

they don't pay the security staff nearly enough to risk life and limb

I wonder if they hire cop wannabees- hope not - somebody will get hurt and walmart will get sued.

@Pretzel I know they don’t. The Walmarts that these happened at are high shoplifting ones.

@cherokeepatti yeah, in my corner of the world there is an off duty cop parked in his vehicle and ready for shoplifters. according to the news they bust them from time to time.

I hate thieves and con men worse than politicians and tv preachers (oh wait...con men...)

@Pretzel One time when I was working at Walmart someone went out the door with a tv in a shopping cart, hadn’t paid and the alarm went off. He pushed it to his car and loaded and sped off. By the time he got home the cops were waiting for him and arrested him. Someone got his tag number and the police may have been familiar with this person, they went right to his home.

@cherokeepatti I always report crimes when I see them. Its one less person with those tendencies in my neighborhood.
