“..., Abdirahman Abdullahi Mohamud filled up his cart with merchandise totaling nearly $1,000 at a Coon Rapids home improvement store and casually strolled out the door making no attempt to pay for the items. When an employee tried to stop him, he said, “you can’t touch me,”
Coon Rapids is the town that the crime took place.
The grocery store chain near me has instructed their employees not to try to stop anybody from stealing. They are worried one of the employees might get hurt. Or, what if the thief runs aways and gets hit by a car and sues the store! (wtf??)
A friend that works there tells me the stories. Laundry soap iirc is a big draw as it gets big cash on the street. Folks will walk out with a cart full of it and the employees can’t/don’t do anything.
