Cops say they are called to the store an average of two times every day. "We have some problems with shoplifting, pick-pocketing. Some of the cars are broken into," Capt. Bill Ferguson told BayNews9.

"We do have some domestic incidences, and some road-rage incidents in the parking lot," he added.

Customers of the store know about the incidents, and they come prepared. "I hold pepper spray in my car right in the little slot, ” Ashleigh Sellick said.

Sellick has also watched, "a woman stealing stuff when she had a little baby in the cart."

A 77-year-old woman hit a man with her car after arguing over a parking spot. Surveillance video shows the woman driving around the parking lot with the man on the hood.

Ferguson told the station the store focused on loss management while the police want to shut down all the problems.

A new plan has officers walking through the store at least once an hour. Customers like the addition. “I’m glad that they are at least catching some things that are going wrong,” Donna Carder noted.

Cops say the number of incidents is down, but not by much. Walmart says, “we will continue to collaborate with local police to focus on crime prevention.”
