Walmart employees in hot water over video of suspected shoplifter
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Walmart employees who confronted a suspected shoplifter in a Dallas suburb may now be in trouble themselves, reports CBS DFW.
A cashier recorded the incident in North Arlington, which was posted on a Facebook page for Walmart employees. It appears to show a woman shoplifting and employees taunting her and grabbing her bag on her way out of the store.
The video then shows an unidentified woman walking up to the suspected shoplifter outside the store and and starting to fight with her.
One of the employees involved has resigned and an investigation is underway, CBS DFW reports.
"This type of behavior by a Walmart associate is completely unacceptable," according to a statement released by Brian Nick, director of Walmart National Media Relations. "We are conducting an internal investigation into this matter at this time and will take action as appropriate."
Walmart did not say how many employees are under investigation.
The employee who posted the video responded to Walmart's actions on Facebook by writing "Why Walmart corporate tryna flex on me."
